Battery comparison

VolcanoSolar

Is there much difference between Trojan and Interstate batteries, with the L-16 configuration?

I know that Interstate are cheaper, but what does that represent?

Re: Battery comparison

Here are a couple of perspectives to consider:

1) Specs:

http://www.interstatebatteries.com/content/product_info/indust_f.asp?js=1

2) User manuals:

3) Charging voltages: Can your charger be adjusted to the recommended voltages and time periods?

4) Warranties:
