And somehow, to ME, just the name 'Delco freedom' reeks of cheap American
stuff, with an unrealistic promise.  I would expect a delco battery to be
much more poorly made than a battery from a dedicated battery company.  
I'd sure never bother with a Sears DieHard battery ether - same thing there
, 60 % goes to hype, only 40 % goes to any sort of actual merit or quality,
even though they SAY otherwise. 
   It's apparently ok to claim a superior product in advertising all you
want, regardless of what's really so.

 RE: RVC  What is the recommended 'sealed/maintenance free' Group 41 battery
among those gathered here together?  My Delco Freedom is now applying for
AARB status.

Not aware of any Al, same as no Deep Cycle Group 41's out there.
