Default Sealed Battery

I've been using a sealed battery for several years in an Aircoupe.

I haven't had much luck with the Gills...they seem to go flat after a
year or two. My flying is once a week at most, and sometimes gaps of
2-4 weeks. This is near Sacramento, California so it's hot in the
summer, cold but rarely freezing in the winter. That's hard on
batteries I guess but that's the way it is.

6 months ago I got a Concorde sealed battery with "extra cranking" and
it seems to work great. But I can't definitively compare it until a
couple of years pass. But so far I like it better than the Gill.
