    Comparable battery to the T105RE

    No one in my Canadian province can get the T105RE baateries. In fact they do not even know the difference in the RE and the T105's. They all tell me the RE is just a marketing ploy and then try and sell me the T105. A few weeks from reading this forum and I think I know more than they do. Frustrating. Anyway, The big battery dealer here handles "US Batteries". Can anybody tell me which US Battery brand compares to the T105RE?

      I find that amusing considering that Trojan Batteries are made in Nova Scotia.

          US RE GC2H XC.

          The difference between the T-105 and T-105RE is 5 pounds of lead and warranty. The T-105 carries a 1.5/2 year, and T-105RE carries a 2/5 year. So there is quite a bit of difference. One is a 2 year battery, and the other is a 5 year battery.

              It's a pro rated warranty not worth a hill of beans....look at the rated number of cycle's t105's are better bang for buck

                      Where's your evidence to discredit this battery manufacturer and the RE tag?
