Re: Quick response - What battery Crown/Trojan/Continental
Which are the best??? For the sake of argument let's say the Trojans are the best and they will last 6 months longer on average than the Crowns.
$170 X 4 = $680 Trojan $145 X 4 = $580 Crown Estimated battery life, Trojan 66 months, Crown 60 Months. Trojan $680/66 months = $10.30/month Crown $580/60 months = $9.66/month You decide. Just a thought............ This is purely hypothetical, but any personal battery experience is purely anecdotal. |

Get the Crowns !
Compare weight....... the Crown often has more lead which equals more capacity. Quality & warranty is equal to Trojan |

Re: Quick response - What battery Crown/Trojan/Continental
We were told that Crown was the best. We've had them now for 3 months or so and they work great and it takes quite a while before they need charging. One thing we were told was to not re-charge them till they are almost dead, the batteries last a lot longer that way. Hope this helps!

Go to Trojan or Crown websites and see for yourself. Wet cell lead acid golf cart batteries can be recharged 5500 times from a shallow discharge or as few as 750 times from a deep discharge. New chargers are keeping the batteries in a float or elevated state between uses to avoid sulfation of the plates Plate sulfation begins when batteries are 15% discharged and is an irreversable process that eventually makes all batteries not respond to a charge. I'm glad you posted today so we could debunk this myth once more for the new guys. Don't take this old advice. See for yourself at trojanbattery.com |
