T4D #44 - Lead Crystal vs Lead Acid battery, final results.
« on: January 21, 2013, 06:13:30 AM »
Hi Folks,

Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O45eLd5YotM

I chat about the final results of the Lead Crystal vs Lead Acid battery testing.

A spreadsheet with the data is attached.

Very nice to close up this Martin. I see they have a price premium of about 20% over the comparable SLA battery.

Ok...I'm sure that's less than it was 6 months ago. From what I heard they were planning to open a production facility in Namibia for lead crystal batteries...

I think it is more an indication of the rise in price of the standard SLA battery as against a cost reduction. I have seen the price double at least over the last 2 years. 3 years ago a 6V 4AH battery was R45.00, now it is R105.00 for the same unit. I have a habit of writing the date and price on those in emergency lights.
