Hello Wrenches,
I have had a number of customers with Trojan L-16s have problems
lately. In some cases, I know that the batteries weren't very well
cared for, but in no case were the batteries totally discharged and
let get cold or sit for a long time. It doesn't seem that the
batteries should have died after a couple of years. I could see
diminished output and a reduced life.
One customer who supposedly knows someone with inside information
claims that Trojan started cutting corners a few years ago to be more
competitive on price.
Has anyone else seen more problems with Trojan Batteries, or heard
that the company is cutting corners?
Thanks,
Drake
