Batteries - Again - Ad Naseum

No,, it looks to me like they are sacrificing some of the acid volume, and
maybe going to an impregnated fiber to hold it like in the Minn Kota
batteries.

I have had very good performance and value from Die Hard and Delco
batteries
both in auto use and boat use for trolling and starting. In my opinion
lighter is not a good attribute to judge batteries for quality and
performance. My concern is that it is plate quality that is being
sacrificed which I suspect is the major mass of a battery. I could use
some
up dating on that thought though.

I had the starting battery come up dead on me yesterday when I went out
on
the river.

Now, the hard question. Does anybody know of a better battery that is
lighter for the capacity?

I'm told to use the biggest, heaviest batteries that will fit in my boat.
