Hi Fred
I did some more research last night and that is what came out.
In fact gas recombinant is quite common. There are three types of battery
Starting
Deep Cycle
Float
Starting gives oomph and lots of amps for a short time
Deep cycle is designed to be run down a long way before recharge (such as
for an electric wheelchair)
Float continuous trickle charge such as for UPS or alarm systems.
I have seen "Starting Batteries" mentioned at the these two retailers
Lyndhurst Touchdown Services - mention 912S and 16 Ahr is GBP 94
Groves
Does anyone know of any other suppliers of "Starting gas recombinant"
batteries in a area further east ?
Is there any reason why "starting gas recombinant" batteries are twice the
price of "deep cycle" ?
Thanks for the info.
