Anyone notice how cheap unlabeled sealed lead acid batts are?


Recommended Posts

OP you fail.

I assume you also use P&S. Stop talking out the ass and contradicting yourself, its embarrassing.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

I worked at a battery plant that put out 45k batteries per shift here in NC. Only dry cell type batteries. We put out all the batteries for walmart, sams club, advanced auto, gm, ford, chrysler, interstate, and probably another half dozen to a dozen different people. The only real differences I saw were the size of the plates, how many were put in and how thick the paste was. So the marine batteries were always the dirtiest machines because they had the most paste and larger plates on them. Remember that just like tennis shoes there still are premiums charged just based on a name. The weigh of the battery to me is what tells you what your getting. I wasnt a line worker just the safety guy so I can't get much more detailed than that. I bet there are only 3 or 4 actual manufacturers of batteries here in the USA total. The amount of money they made per battery was not a whole lot.

Heavier battery does not mean better battery LOL.

Did you all ignore Scotts video?

You´r crying about prices, make me :bad: . In Europe we pay over 650 $ for a D3100, here is nothing from caraudio this cheap like in America.

Shouldn't have elected a bunch of socialists.

Next time I find something useful to some or all of the community I'll be sure to keep it to myself. I'm sorry you are all insecure about your overpaying for batteries now and feel the need to flame me to reinforce your own decisions by dog-piling me and removing anything even remotely useful to somebody interested in a new cheap battery or two from this thread. I await your brilliantly immature and insulting replies. I'm heading back over to DIYMA for a while until the bad SMD taste is out of my mouth.

Last thing i heard on battery Manu's, there is only 4-5 in the world at this current time. And i hear on this subject quite often being in the auto repair industry..

Until you can learn to actually deal with factual info and not get all butt hurt because someone called you out on your bad info, i might suggest you just stay over there.

It's not even an opinion. With every other post he contradicts himself, and his entire thing about cheaper batteries and the performance is the same...and yet he has no idea what he's talking about.

OP, you found cheap batteries. If any take you up, then thank you. But do not for once, even think, you're are finding comparable changes. I'm assuming with your woe is me I can't afford quality equipment, you've never owned XS. And until you own quality equipment, you're not understanding the difference. It would be a separate thing if you actually knew what you were talking about, but the science just isn't there.

Not hating, just stating.
