Hey Dave, get off the soapbox!!! This is his personal opinion, so too bad that you find it unfair and untrue. My experience with the Fullriver series makes me think that they are “cheap Chinese ones” as well. Are you saying that there has NEVER been a problem with one?

Can’t keep everyone happy.

You have linked the Fullriver HGL series as “cheap Chinese ones” which is both unfair and untrue. We don’t recommend this range for either deep-cycle usage nor under bonnet. I would argue that cheap does not necessarily mean bad either. For deep-cycle applications, use the dedicated DC series with the optional heatshield sheetmetal shroud now available too.

Wow Paul – I wouldn’t call FullRiver a cheap chinese battery… there are plenty of AGM’s cheaper than Full River…. and I wouldn’t call their quality cheap either, again – I have seen many other brands that are not as good in terms of quality – not that I have much experience – I only have them in my boat, 4wd, 2 x cars, jetski and two running fridges every week end and another couple I use for other things like running portable pumps and sold hundreds of them which are running in boats and 4WD’s.

Lots of people assiciate “chinese products” with lower quality… not all chinese manufactured product is lower quality than product manufactured elsewhere – I guarantee you – your name brand IT Hardware if it is relatively new is made in one of 3 factories in China. People used to bag Japanese product – now everyone wants Japanese product.

Why don’t you review the expensive AGM’s that are twice the price and see if they are offering real value or is it marketing hype?

Everyone’s entitled to an opinion though… including me
