what are those figures based upon?

20-25 years? how long have they even been on the market?





Again based on what, where R U getting these figures from?

Sorry, I meant 8 batteries @ 6 volts each x 62 pounds apiece of T-105 batteries = 496lbs

Cycle life testing has nothing to do with life on the market, it is based on lab testing. Since anything new that has a long life can not wait until it it's life is over to prove how long it can/will last, laboratory testing is all that can be done with mathematical projections.

Here is a technical data sheet. I have read many of your posts and you seem interested in the technology. This data sheet specifies 2000 cycles not the 3000 I stated. But I have seen data sheets in the past stating 3000-5000 cycles. My math was based on 3000 charge cycles. But if you normally change your lead batteries every 3 years, the 2000 life cycles will still get you 20 years on your cart.

If you are interested in more info, please PM me.
