[RE-wrenches] battery cycle life, US Battery

[Ron Young]

Hi Larry,
Client has asked me to compare the cycle life because he is upgrading a large battery bank and has been convinced by a Xantrex "scientist" that golf cart batteries are superior to L-16's even though it involves twice as many batteries, connections, cells, footprint etc. So to convince his purchasing committee he wants to know the difference in cycle life between a U.S.B 208 and a Surrette S-460.

(buyer beware: Interstate switched to Johnson Control junk batteries and no longer sells the American made US Battery. http://starlightsolar.com/interstate.htm) I consider Rolls a superior long life battery compared to any other L16's.

>> Hi Wrenches, trying to compare battery cycle life on L-16 Surrette/Rolls vs. U.S. Battery golf cart. Can't seem to find any clear info on the U.S. Battery 208 a/h golf cart. The chart that U.S. battery shows on their website only gives one cycle life graph for all of their batteries whereas Surrette/Rolls differentiates between the series 4000 and series 5000.
