Hi Ray,
                 The Trojan batteries that are available here are USA
manufactured so i have no reason to think they would be substantially
different from what you have access to.   The chart I refer to was issued by
GNB, the then distributor for Trojan here.  That company has since been
bought by Exide who still offer the Trojan.  I have no idea when the chart
was published but it is now at least 5 years old but the models covered have
not changed.  It only covers L16, no suffixes, on that model.

I have also seen a number of Dyno 220's used and generally 3 years is it.

Like I said, temperature could be a major variation in these results but I
know for my purposes this type of cell, 220 or L16, is no good.  Traction
cells offer twice the life (at least) for 50% more cost.

Cheers,
Bruce Geddes

Hi Bruce;

That's backwards from what my info says. I have both cycle life charts and
old brochures for both the T105 and the L16. I'd be curious which brochures
you have, and what the latest word from Trojan is. Also, where did the info
stating that L16HC is 20% less cycle life than the regular L16 come from. I
would have not sold the HC, if I had known that. Once again this list is
probably one of the best info resources on the planet.
