We have had them in our 192V Geo Metro for the last year with mixed
results. I think the first set went bad after 6 months because of a poor
charger setup. (2) k&W chargers with batpros. When we put the second set
in we changed to the Guest modular chargers and so far so good.
Below 60F they realy start to loose it. So battery heaters are a must in
cooler areas.
Our latest Geo has GNB batteries.
