  That pretty well admits to the problem I believe. The thinner plate story 
was from a competitor, by the way, so it figures that it was wrong. The acid 
starvation story looks like the correct one.

  Regardless, the HC is not a longevity-minded battery even though I bet 
we've all heard conflicting claims from battery suppliers.

  From Trojan:

  Hello Mr. Cory,

  Thank you for the copy of the post.  It's always very  interesting and
  educational to see what customers and dealers say  about our products
  and their performances.  We pay particularly close  attention to the
  negative
  comments because that's is where the opportunity for us to improve lies.
  Please continue to inform us of anything interesting that you might come
  across.

  Now, to the question at hand.  The comment about the L16HC's (now known
  as the L16H) having thinner plates than the standard L16 shows that the
  person writing has no idea about our product.  The L16 series, which
  comprise of the L16G (370 amp-hr), the L16P (390 amp-hr), and the L16H
  (420 amp-hr) are all made using the same positive and negative plates.
  It is the number of plates in each battery that accounts for the
  differing capacities-- the L16G has 42 plates, the L16P has 45 plates,
  and the L16H has 51 plates.  There is a trade-off in going from low to
  high capacity and it's mainly life and maintenance; more plates means
  less electrolyte and therefore more maintenance and slightly less life.
  Which battery to use depends greatly on the application and the capacity
  required.

  I don't believe that we have ever claimed that the L16 is the answer to
  anything.  I would definitely like to hear about some of the "wild
  claims" that we've made.  The L16, like any other battery, will perform
  well if the system that it is put into was properly designed to charge
  and discharge the battery correctly and also if there
  is a goodmaintenance program in place.

  If you need further assistance, please contact me.

  Best regards,

  Jim Le
