Drake, I used to sell Trojans and had good results in the old days. For the last 8 years I have been using Interstate L-16's and I think with better results at a lower cost. Since my oldest install of the interstates is only about 8 years old, time will tell about longevity. I have had Many service calls with premature bad cells in Trojans, especially the high performance models.
