Subject:Re: Alliance Deep Cycle? (Grp. 27) Wire To Alternator?

Very helpful Dennis.

At $125.96 Cnd. for a group 27, I have to wonder if it's the same
battery as the Alliance you write of.

Easy enough to find out.

Of course I misplaced the notes I made, but IIRC, the warranty on the
Alliance up here is 1 year against defects then pro rated for several
years after that.

I apologize to all for the charging wire gauge question. I received a
pmail regarding that info and I bet there's more info on that in the
archives, seeing as how this battery stuff has been discussed many
times.

Neil.
