Re: (ET) US Battery vs Trojan

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

Sam's Club batteries appear to be made by the lowest bidder closest to the 
store (or regional distributor?).  Over the hears I've heard of people 
getting batteries made by Trojan, US, Exide, Johnson Controls, etc.

Regarding USBMC vs. Trojan, both are good brands.  I don't like Exide, but 
some folks have had good service from them.  In general, the care given to 
the batteries will make more difference in service life than the brand.  

Trojan batteries certainly have their champions, but I've never thought 
that 
they were worth the appreciably higher prices usually charged, or Trojan's 
lack of interest in working with road EV hobbyists and builders.
