Besides the better warranty, the HUP cells are not welded together,  
but have removable buss bars, that allow individual cells to be  
replaced or for moving.
My supplier shows higher cost and lower cycle life for the IBEs as  
well. (2100 cycles for HUP vs. 1500 cycles, both at 80% DOD)
What other factors are making you consider them? I used to use  
Bulldogs before HUP dropped their pricing a few years ago. The  
Bulldogs are rated similar to the IBEs, and after 10 years, all is  
well so far with those installs.
