Lifeline AGM Batteries

I've had one for nearly two years, no complaints so far. It's in the car to power the fridge.

The bloke at Federal Batteries (distributor of both) reckons the only difference is lifespan.

When I needed another for the Jayco, only to run lights and the fan now and then, I put a REMCO in as it was $100 cheaper. It's only 5 months old and I've got no complaints about it either.

Cheers,

Jim.

All batteries have a life based on cycles. Any brand of AGM will serve you well but keep to the recommended charging voltages and don't over discharge the battery.

Also note that high under bonnet temp can decrease service life.

The Remco vs Lifeline question is an interesting one, the retailers talk about lifespan and even hand made vs mass made in China..? I'm not so sure about this, as for lifespan, do we really know that Remco bateries are lasting 2-3 years less than a Lifeline , I don't think so yet..? I haven't heard one bad thing about Remco but if the Retailers couldn't differentiate between Lifeline and Remco with the lifespan story, they would never sell another Lifeline, because they are dearer..! So whilst I suspect Lifeline is the superior brand I'm not sure it'w worth the difference in some cases..? If we get 7 years out of any battery I think we'd be happy unless we're talking military spec or mission critical applications.

Does anybody know if Remco are sold in Adelaide? [That's South Australia by the way (-:]

Lorne,
What's the "technical" benefits of a 'LifeLine' AGM battery over a Fullriver AGM battery ??
