[RE-wrenches] Sealed L-16 size batteries / battery terminals

[Dana]

We switched over a couple of clients with the same
situation, hard to access and not consistently there, from
wet L-16's to the sealed Full River DC-400 [6VDC each]
battery and the client is very happy. We are about 1 year
down the road and we are thrilled to no get panic calls
anymore.

 

I have these in a camper we use on job sites for living and
office with portable battery recharging and they are great.

Colleagues

I need to replace batteries for a customer.  They have
Trojan L-16 batteries in an infrequently occupied vacation
home.  Maintenance has been an issue due to the infrequency
in which the customer is on site.  I think VRLA batteries
are indicated.

The enclosure is built for L-16 size batteries so it would
be ideal to find VRLA batteries the same size.  I find that
Fullriver and US Battery offer batteries that meet the size
specification.  Do any of you have experience with these
batteries?

I notice that Trojan and MK have abandoned the threaded stud
connections in favor of flags.  This makes sense as we have
seen some studs pull out.  The Fullriver and US Battery have
the dual threaded stud / automotive terminals.  Have any of
you had similar failures with the threaded studs?

Thanks in advance,

William
