[QUOTE="user 7268, post: 431609, member: 7268"] Golden oldie your battery man informed you well :Y: The only thing the same about them all, is they are 12 volt rated. How they deliver power, the applications they are designed for and even the manner and voltages used to re charge are all different. Hence 7 and 8 stage chargers now common place. Manner of use and charging are probably two of the main factors that effect the batteries life and their not a cheap item. The "old type" battery charger is long dead, in fact it won't even put out voltage high enough to fully charge a deep cycle battery. This is why they as in deep cycle batteries and other types don't perform that well just plonked in the back of vehicle without the correct controller, as the average vehicle alternator just doesn't pump enough voltage to ever fully recharge it. :o [/QUOTE]
