Thanks for the reply with technical details, however you didn't quite
address my observation of a Trojan battery.  It had very thin collector grid
wires, even near the terminal indicating higher resistance and more voltage
drop at EV currents.  Do the US batt EV-145 have grid wires which are
thicker at the terminal end and taper towards the far side of the plates?

>Our field tests show that the EV-145 lasts just as long as the golf products. 

As many cycles as a 6V flooded?  How many BCI cycles?  Sounds interesting.
