House Batteries

[Wilhelmus Schreurs]

Mike:
Take a look at this website.\
you will find that the price quoted is rather high for the T105.
Also look at the T125, few dollars more and get more capacity in the same area.

I'm a little foggy on battery lingo, told the Lifeline warehouse in Chicago area
(Aurora) that I was looking for size parity with T 105s, he quoted the numbers I
posted, 220 AH @ $290 ea. I verified that is correct information, and 4D size
wasn't discussed. The unanswered question is where did you get the 150 dollar
price on the Dekas? If the price is on group 31 12v, never mind. My applications
require T 105, golf cart batteries. Chicago Deka warehouse quoted, 4D @ 198AH
$354. Waiting to hear what they will do T105s for.

Mike,

The AH rating you are quouting would be for either 4D's or 8D's. The
Lifeline 4D is rated at 210AH, the 8D is rated at 255AH. The 1992
WB40's use Group 31 batteries, at least mine does. So they are not
the group size.

If you found someplace that sells Lifeline 8D or even 4D AGM's for
$290, I would buy everyone they had at that price, low advertised
retail is around $450 on that battery.

Also, anyone looking at purchasing batteries anytime soon. I would
do it sooner than later, battery prices have had a huge increase over
the last couple months and will probably continue to do so for the
near future....

go there. Where you get that price???

WHen comparing amp hours remember that two units of 6 volt T105 220ah
in series gives you 12volts 220ah. '12volt units' or '6 volt pairs'
in parellel multiply the amphours.

I have 6 units of L16 6 volt trogens each giving 420ah. total ah =
1260ah/12v (2,520 AH/6v). Kind of a waste because I dont stay still
very long while dry camping and when you go to charge them after
several days it takes 4 hours. no mater how much your bank stores,
you eventually need to make up the used energy. I do like the fact
that they never go below 80% before I start up the genny.
