Daniel, There is a big difference in the construction of these two very different batteries.
The FR battery is a AGM battery with a limited amount of electrolyte and a much smaller plate than the OPZv Tubular Gel Battery. The larger plate (Tubular Plated Gel) as well as the excess Gel Electrolyte are going to give you longer life cycles, of course if properly taken care of. Both batteries are very sensitive to undercharging/overcharging... You must be spot on with your settings/usage to actually get this much life out of both batteries. <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> Steve Higgins ⋅ Technical Services Manager t +1.902.597.4020 m +1.206.790.5840 f +1.902.597.8447 e st...@surrette.com <#UNIQUE_ID_SafeHtmlFilter_> <http://www.facebook.com/RollsBattery> <http://www.facebook.com/RollsBattery> <http://www.twitter.com/RollsBattery> <https://www.youtube.com/user/RollsBattery> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/rolls-battery-engineering> <http://www.instagram.com/RollsBattery> <http://www.instagram.com/RollsBattery> <http://www.instagram.com/RollsBattery> ------------------------------ CONFIDENTIALITY: The information transmitted herein is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential, proprietary and/or privileged material.
