We switched over a couple of clients with the same situation, hard to access and not consistently there, from wet L-16's to the sealed Full River DC-400 [6VDC each] battery and the client is very happy. We are about 1 year down the road and we are thrilled to no get panic calls anymore.
I have these in a camper we use on job sites for living and office with portable battery recharging and they are great.

They have Trojan L-16 batteries in an infrequently occupied vacation home. Maintenance has been an issue due to the infrequency in which the customer is on site. I think VRLA batteries are indicated. The enclosure is built for L-16 size batteries so it would be ideal to find VRLA batteries the same size. I find that Fullriver and US Battery offer batteries that meet the size specification. Do any of you have experience with these batteries? I notice that Trojan and MK have abandoned the threaded stud connections in favor of flags. This makes sense as we have seen some studs pull out. The Fullriver and US Battery have the dual threaded stud / automotive terminals. Have any of you had similar failures with the threaded studs?
