I put this in my forklift as a replacement for the OEM battery and it's handled daily deep cycling in our warehouse without issue. Terminal fit was exact, so no adapter cables needed. Runtime through a full shift has been consistent even after several months. Solid industrial-grade AGM.
This powers the auxiliary systems on my utility trailer and has handled vibration from gravel roads without any capacity loss. It's a snug fit in the stock battery box, so measure carefully before ordering. Performance otherwise has been excellent.
Sealed design means no acid maintenance required, which our crew appreciates. Voltage holds steady under heavy load. Would recommend for fleet applications.
Ordered this pallet for our RV parts distributorship and spot-tested units all came in within spec. Freight arrived intact with no shrink-wrap damage.
This flooded battery runs my golf cart fleet at the course and has outlasted every sealed battery we've tried in the past. It takes regular watering, but the extra capacity and lifespan make up for the maintenance. Performance through a full summer season has been excellent. Great value for high-use applications.
Great upgrade from our old flooded battery.
We resell to off-grid solar installers and this batch has been consistent so far. Would like tighter pallet wrapping, but no units arrived damaged.
Shipping was faster than our previous supplier.
Stocked our golf cart parts warehouse with this pallet and every tested unit met voltage spec on arrival. Great batch consistency for a bulk order.
The gel chemistry seems to tolerate partial discharges better than my old AGM. Slightly pricier, but the reliability has been worth it.
