[RE-wrenches] Concorde Lifeline Battery failures

[Chris Worcester]

Hi fellow Wrenches,

I had to ask this question a few times about the difference between the Lifeline GPL-L16T  and SunXtender PVX4050HT batteries from Concorde with our sales rep before I received a quasi-answer;

The lifeline batteries are for RV and MARINE applications

Constant cycling up down 

KEEP in mind they are both 400 amp 6 volt batteries 

The sunxtender will do the same cycle capability 

The difference is (let’s say in the cake mix ) the paste in the plates as the sunxtenser are on float charge all the time 

They tend to hold up longer in solar applications 

I really think you should stick with the sunxtender as you are in the solar business

 

There was no price difference, just stocking differences at the time, so we ordered the Lifelines for that last job.

We haven’t had any of the SunXtenders or the Lifelines fail yet, and our oldest SunXtender out there is a 2002 battery, still going!

As far as I know, they are the same battery with different label.

So the Lifeline models, not the SunXtender models?
