[RE-wrenches] Trojan Batteries

[Drake]

Hello Wrenches,

I have had a number of customers with Trojan L-16s have problems 
lately. In some cases, I know that the batteries weren't very well 
cared for, but in no case were the batteries totally discharged and 
let get cold or sit for a long time. It doesn't seem that the 
batteries should have died after a couple of years. I could see 
diminished output and a reduced life.

One customer who supposedly knows someone with inside information 
claims that Trojan started cutting corners a few years ago to be more 
competitive on price.

Has anyone else seen more problems with Trojan Batteries, or heard 
that the company is cutting corners?

Thanks,

Drake
