Lead acid batteries: What's old is new again

Mine are inside so low temp charging is not an issue. Having delt with watering and maintaining my batteries in my old escape, I would not go back. However everyone’s needs are different.

Seems like these discussions move into gotcha back and forth quickly. What’s up with that ?

Ditto. Love my 400ah of lithium power. Would never go back.

Of course I jest but you get the point.

But plastic is far superior to wood! 😂

My plastic blocks cracked, my wood ones haven't.

I squished one of my plastic ones. The wood one ones are pretty much unsquishable. (Yes that’s a word…or at least it is now).

I guess we could debate types of plastic and wood.

Well that opens up a can of worms, what about hybrids of two different woods?

Mine are solid stock with a 1/2" bottom layer of plywood that stabilizes the wood, preventing cracking and gives that extra bit of height that allows for changing a tire etc.
