• Wet Cell Technology 
• Better suited for warmer climates
• Less cranking power at low 

ambient temperatures

• 18-24 month expected life *see 

note below

• Choose for southern climates

• Wet Cell Technology 
• Better suited for colder climates
• High cranking power at low 

ambient temperatures

• 18-24 month expected life *see 

note below

• Choose for northern climates

• Dry Cell (AGM) Technology
• Better suited for all applications
• High cranking power at lower 

ambient temperatures

• Suited for extreme temperatures
• Best for high cycling applications 

(Cycle-Sentry use)

• 5-7 year expected life

* NOTE: Wet cell battery life and maintenance requirements are determined by the operating environment and the 
charge/discharge rate (cycles) while the battery is in service. Higher ambient temperatures and frequent discharges 
will shorten a wet cell battery’s overall life expectancy and increase maintenance requirements.
