Thing with diesels is that they need cca. The glow plugs take a very large draw, starter, ect. The alternator puts out the amperage to run accessories. That's why class 8 trucks will have 4 batteries. Not that they're wired in series, but they are wired in parallel...
Well that's the thing. Those non virgin lead batteries are made by the same manufacturer. They're all the same. Why pay extra for name.
I'm actually kinda curious on how I'm going to warranty my exide batteries from home depot. None of those places load test them like a parts store.
Yeah those 50$ 24f from Wal-Mart is what I use for tractors, genie, and battery banks.
Only a year warranty. Haven't tried to do a warranty claim on them, but walmart can be weird
Well hate to cog your drain.
Exide is a battery supplier for the military 6tl, happens to be an anomalies that you can buy the exide 24F at home depot for 100 dollars. 40 month warranty
Diesels require more cca. That's why you'll see one big battery or two smaller cca batteries. Class 8 trucks will have 4 batteries.
Anyways... Comparing a battery ment for a gasoline car, does not equate to anything in the diesel world. Truly as you say, apples to oranges.
But since we're on...
