Walmart woes

[Sub_Elect]

I am trying to convince you to buy the superior gels. I apparently failed.

research gels vs agm

Why do you like gels batteries so much? I guess I know little to nothing about batteries, so Im just curious. :;:stirthepot

As for you DM, argue, argue and argue some more. I prefer to find the white lady with the muslim turbin on. She sees me walk in with something and look like I might return it and now she heads the other direction as I giggle inside. To say her and I have had a couple go arounds is putting it mildly. She gets loud, you just need to get louder and stare her in the eyes when you are at 80% volume. You'll win...Trust me on this one!

I've had to deal with Les, the mouth noise/fart sound singer guy, at the north location. I almost can't handle it. Nice guy, but the noise he makes while trying to follow a tune in his head is cause for an internal meltdown.

Yep not a battery snob, but what advantages does the $210 gel battery have over the $90 regular battery? Do they last longer?

lmao I have heard these tunes by ol lester the molester as he tries to ring up my scott's rv toilet paper. Why did they say they wouldn't exchange the 4 month old one with an 18 month warranty? Is this the one you have?

Do the gel batteries all have lower CCA? I think my hpdi requires at least 700-800, the gr 29 gel says 550cca

Those are the batteries I have for the trolling motor.

tag on the battery was just over a year. they thought it was a 12 month warranty. I argued. ended up throwing it in the pickup and driving to the north location. No issues.

Well, no issues until someone threw this battery from the top of a bridge.

Sam's club:
this should have been your huckleberry...on my third set in 7 years...and one set was wrecked due to operator error

Then I have to buy a sams club membership. I mean, I'd save money on bulk packs of ketchup, but not much else.

You'll be buying diapers like there going out of style soon enough, so that membership may not be such a bad idea. :;:huh

huh...with a little dirty on the way stocking up on diapers, wet wipes, formula things like that might be beneficial...

maybe you should check with your employer to see if you get a business discount

gels are "pure deep cell" in that they charge slower and are meant for true deep cycle only type applications - not as a starter/deep combo (just trolling motors for instance)

advantages:
heavy deep cycle power

extremely low self-discharge rate (stay fully charged during storage all winter - important to me so they don't ever freeze)

recharge to full power even when left discharged for months -basically no memory (penalty) for coming home exhausted and realizing two weeks (or two months) later that you forgot to plug them in

mount in any position - no spills - no leaks (true for AGM too maybe?)

downside - if you "boil them off" you are hosed - they require the voltage not to exceed some level (13.4V or some such?) - AGM and wet cells can dissociate water and "boil off" if you charge to fast/high V so they protect themselves to some extent... gels f themselves by venting through the pressure relief ports and the silica gel gets really unhappy somehow when it dries out

I would probably buy AGM if I didn't find gels on a good sale

 

[DirtyMike]

you mean i cant just hose him off? :;: this parenting thing is tricky....

 

[RustyTackleBox]

formula in 3lb tubs at sams for $25 alone will save you... unless you got yourself a good milker

 

[guywhofishes]

ha ha ha ha!

 

[martinslanding]

...well I guess you will have all kinds of time to be running to the store for items with baby due this winter...I mean seriously when else do you think you will be allowed out of the house

 

[DirtyMike]

I come from a long line of dairy farmers. I bet there still some equipment in the parlor.

 

[Bed Wetter]

I second a Sam's membership. Their fresh (unfrozen) chicken parts are the best I've ever had. Tillamook cheese for like $4/lb, dirt cheap pork butts when you buy a case. Nice meat dept when they're not sold out.

Making a run to Sam's in Bismarck on Saturday.......................................................At least that's what I'm told I'm doing.;;;;;;;

DM good luck hooking up that surge on a heifer, ::laughing::
