[RE-wrenches] GS battery use?

[Steve Higgins]

Daniel,

There is a big difference in the construction of these two very different
batteries.

The FR battery is a AGM battery with a limited amount of electrolyte and a
much smaller plate than the OPZv Tubular Gel Battery.

The larger plate (Tubular Plated Gel) as well as the excess Gel Electrolyte
are going to give you longer life cycles, of course if properly taken care
of.

Both batteries are very sensitive to undercharging/overcharging... You must
be spot on with your settings/usage to actually get this much life out of
both batteries.
