[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7881241, member: 573547"] By using your prized Odyssey as an example, [B]EVERY[/B] single AGM battery they make, except for one (the little PC680, it keeps the same 16 Ah rating for both the 10 and 20 hr) the 10 hour rating is [I]lower[/I] than the 20 hour rating....same with East Penn and Concorde AGM's. I did not say you were making anything up...you were merely speculating that the HC 1800 might not use the same measurement to determine stated Ah as the Sears batt....you were speculating, not me. I see no reason that the stated Ah on the HC1800 cannot be based on a 20 hour timeline. I have not cut the two batteries in half and actually measured the thickness of the casing to determine how thick the Sears is between the ribs, nor how thick the Kinetik is uniformally, but they are tough enough to withstand a proper secure install, as you would do with any battery.
