Lawrence,
I have been Very Happy with my US 145s. At the time they were less
expensive and the specs were equal or better than the Trojan at high
discharge rates. US Battery is attentive to the EV population with both
info and help in getting the batteries into the hands of the EVers.
I would definitely but US Batteries again.
Todd
