Perhaps James @ Surrette can chime in about the cost difference. I do not think flooded lead calciums are much more expensive then flooded lead antimony batteries.

HI Todd,


I agree that the issue is probably dead batteries.
In regard to the calciums,  what is the added cost per life.  ie if they cost 3x as much and last 4 x as long when you calc in MX, venting etc, costs might be pretty close?


thanks,


jay

It is why I never use em... never! If they are 5 years old, you are probably at the limit of their life. Replace em with flooded lead calciums and your customers (and you) will be happy for 20+ years.
