Re: (ET) New Trojan T-105

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

I've heard this elsewhere.  It seems that Trojan know best and we are all 
supposed to get in line behind them.  Baaaa, baaaa, baaaa.

Bah.

I don't mean to sound like a commercial, but US Battery (also sold as 
Interstate Workaholic) will supply batteries with whatever posts you want: 
standard automotive, golf car combination, drilled combination, or L post. 
 
Although I don't presently have US brand in my ET, I've used their 
batteries 
for years for road EVs, ever since I found out how expensive Trojans were 
(my local Trojan dealer offered NO discount at all).

BTW, what Trojan are putting on the new batteries sounds like a shortened 
version of golf car posts.  Golf car post aren't very good for high 
current 
road EVs because the studs tend to creep out of the lead post and loosen 
over time.  With the ET's lower current demands, this shouldn't be as much 
of a problem.  But is there enough clearance under the seat for the posts?
