[RE-wrenches] Interstate L-16 vs Trojan L-16REB

[Exeltech]

Carl,

I've got two sets of Surette lead-calcium in an off-grid test system.
The electrolyte is H2S04 .. sulfuric acid.

The internal construction of these batteries is more open than I've
seen in other L16 style cells (more space between the plates),
which may (or may not) lend itself to lessening of stratification
issues.

  I've heard that Lead-calcium batteries do not need Equalization, I
    think because
the electrolyte does not contain sulfates so the lead
    plates cannot get sulfated.
Although maybe electrolyte
    stratification is still an issue. Can anyone confirm
that this info
    is correct ?


    Carl,
