Hi there Jon.
Lead Crystal batteries are also being marketed and sold as solar batteries here in SA. They are available in 2V and 12V, which is handy!
The data from the dealer/manufacturer does indeed look quite impressive, and I especially like the C/4 charge rate that they list. Over here they are quite a bit more expensive than Lead Acid (about 60-70% more) batteries, but calculating in the extra life and quicker charge time, they definitely look like an attractive option!
I have not personally had any experience with the Lead Crystal batteries, yet, but am definitely planning on trying them out next year. At the moment, the initial cost of the batteries is putting me off, but compared to Lead Acid, they might be the way to go!

Lead Crystal batteries.
Hi All
I have just recently heard about lead crystal batteries and read the 'data' presented on some websites which seems too good to be true. Claims of 7/800 cycles to 80% DOD. Does anyone have information on this type of battery or has used them for an extensive period?
Cheers
Jon
