Larry It looks like the UPG batteries come from the same Chinese factory as well. We’re hoping the Trojan Reliant work out well with their re-introduction Q1 2017. AGM batteries seem to be the most misunderstood (after Gels) I have noticed the failure rate is higher than wet, I assume most folks think VRLA means “don’t pay any attention at all.”

How long ago was the test? It looks to me like Rolls Battery has chosen FullRiver as their OEM supplier for AGM batteries. I’m very sure they tested extensively and choose carefully.
