Since I have had good service (40 months on a 36 month guarantee) with the Exide battery that Four Wheel installs, I have decided to purchase Exide again.
Checking with Stan, FWC installs an "Exide Edge "Dual Purpose" AGM. Model FP-AGM-24DP.
Exide makes a "Deep Cycle" Model 24 MDC which I believe is a better choice than a dual purpose. It is rated at 80 amps in the same footprint.
see link: EXIDE for a description and explanation.
I just asked Stan reason for using the "dual purpose" . I will post his reply when I receive it.
FIRST EDIT - Correction
When the technician removed the old battery from the case - the make was the "Intimidator" by East-Penn Manufacturing.
Not the Exide.
Evidently for whatever reason Four Wheel decided to switch from them to Exide sometime between May 2012 and now.
