As I said, the Rolls is an outstanding battery but you really need to
consider the cost. The Trojans are also available in a T-125 and T-145. Same
case size. The T-125 has more plates and the T-145 uses a higher acid
concentration to get you up to 260 A/H.

I was sold on the Trojans, but now I'm curious about the Rolls Surrette...
so I'll poke around the web to reach a conclusion... this is all new to
me... here I was owning one 100 amp 12 volt, oblivious to the fact that for
30 more dollars I could have owned two 6 volts w 225 amp hours.. at least by
the time I get the golf cart batteries I'll have my heavy duty relay
installed.. though I'm unclear why it has two attachments for, apparently,
grounding it...
