typically why don't people like to use wetcell batteries?

 

[DBDesignsElite]

A lead-acid battery, by its very construction, exposes working personnel to four potentially dangerous elements: sulfuric acid, explosive gases,

A sulfuric acid solution is used as the electrolytein lead-acid storage batteries and has a concentration of approximately 40% by weight of sulfuric acid in water. Even in this diluted state,sulfuric acid is a strong oxidizing agent and can burn the skin and eyes and "eat" holes in clothes made of many commonm aterials.

An explosive mixture of oxygen and hydrogen is produced in a lead-acid storage battery during the charging process. The two gases can combine explosively if a spark or flame ignite them. Because hydrogen is so light, it normally floats away and disperses into the air before it can collect into an explosive mixture. However,if it accumulates into gas pockets, it will explode when ignited.

Also Wetcells are notorious for having really high internal resistance. Some are really slow on recharge arnt as quick as the newer AGM's Etc.

I thought id give these a try because of the safety spec post on them. The lowered internal resistance, a quicker Reacharge, better holding time, and better short term burst power. PRICE is SICK and They are local.

SOB who?? watch it nukka. Dont make me drive threw your neighborhood and to your house windows down and **** near full tilt on your ***. And you thought a oil leak was bad.. LOL.. I tryed to call the dude and no answer. You??

so people are generally just afraid of them leaking or cracking?? I would hope just sitting in an engine compartment they wouldnt do that unless they were dropped/sliding around/ abused

Edit: these are deep cycle right?

im in contact with a few other battery options, but im def. interested... I'd just be worried to ship one of em

They are affraid of toxic gases, Leaking and corrosion. As am i. Like i said i will be extensively testing these. Crown said they are just about as safe as any AGM out. And are as close as you can get with Wetcell.

They are somewhat Deep Cycle like all their batteries. We will find out soon.

Allways could get some HydroCaps for them.

Anyone else care to add anything. Any one ever had any good luck running wetcells??

I had a group 31 sealed wet cell in my trunk before. It was like 15 years old but still sat at 12.7-ish volts. I used it for a while and never had a problem until i couldn't get a good connection on the terminal anymore due to corrosion (my fault).

Interesting //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I'd like to see what you find.

I have two wet cells in my trunk, no problems with them yet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Well i have 1 installed as of now. Along with the 1100 amp version on starting. Voltage is reaaallllly good. Cold = 14.89 Hot = 13.92 No signs of leakage. No fumming. etc.

I rode around with it during my daily drives and out of the checkers parking lot close to the house, Its on a bad hill pitched the battery more then 45 no leakage. All and all reallly solid for now. The Big test comes here in a few days.

Ill add 1 at a time until i have all 4 of them installed and load them. then its on!!!

Jacob btw what do you think about all this??

Ive been testing them here and there. They are awesome batteries. Anyone else have any input?? Anyone ever ran wetcell's?? Experiences? Let me know you all.

Thanks for the help.
