Re: T105 Battery life



I have a dozen 8 year old  Trojan  T145s in my 69 VW Beetle that still
put out 55 miles and a dozen (originally a set of 18) 13 year old Trojan
J250s that were used in my 67 Ford Van, 69 VW Beetle, and 79 Jet
Industries ElectraVan before going into my PV / Windmill battery
compartment.
All are now on Power Pulse Tech life support.
I would expect similar life from any 6 volt deep cycle Trojan.
