[RE-wrenches] Are Thick Plate Batteries Worth the Price?

[Nick Soleil]

    Yes, in old cabin systems, but I would agree that it is rare.  I have seen 
L-16s that lasted 13 years, but that is not common.   I wouldn't say that it is 
typical, on the other hand,  I have seen batteries that got killed in just a few 
years too.  I would not tell a customer to expect 25 years from a battery bank, 
though.  I tend to tell customers 3-7 years for T-105s, 7-10 years for L-16s, 
and 12-15 years for industrial 2Volts cells, such as C&D Technologies batteries.

HI Nick,

I gotta ask have you ever seen a battery last 25 years that wasn't in float and 
had to do some work,
or even 15 years?

You generally pay for what you get.  The industrial 2V cells generally cost 
more, but will last a lot longer (up to 25 yrs.)  I think it depends on the 
customer's budget, and the long term plans for the property.
