Re: Crown Batteries
I know nothing about Crown batteries but they seem to have better specs than the T-105's.
The closest match to these from Trojan is the T-125 or even better specs than the Crown is the T-145. If you are getting numbers close to Trojan, I would stick with the best. |

Re: Crown Batteries
What a coincidence! I was just sneaking at their web site!
There's good reviews on them used on the industrial field (forklifts, aerial machines, etc) Read good words also in EV's forums. |

Re: Crown Batteries
the c-225 for 95 seems like a good deal, but why not go for their c-245, as per this:
http://www.crownbattery.com/PDF/Crow...0Batteries.pdf seems near comparable to t-145's. what model is the blem for 60? is there actually lead inside those? |

Re: Crown Batteries
cool on the blems then! but I would closely check shelf time
Also check that on any other battery, even Trojans. This is one of the best guarantees i offer, a fresh battery, I usually sell Trojan made no longer than 2 weeks ago, down here @ Mess-ico this is quite a milestone... I cannot source the crowns but would be interesting to hear about your experience... are these batts for your new build? by the way, you might have to start a new thread since the original was hijacked and closed |

Re: Crown Batteries
A friend sold Crowns for a few years. A lot of individual batteries had to be warranteed.... Many more than Trojan. They were economical.

Re: Crown Batteries
We have been selling Crowns for a few years now and have had good luck with them. Only had to exchange a couple of them. In our area people just don't want to spend as much as what a Trojan costs and the Crowns seem to be a close second for a little better price.
