Thanks Ian. Malcom, most of the batteries I see now use the newer Calcium additive technology which greatly reduces the sulphation problem. Internal Resistance, as you say, reduces the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) capability.
The good thing is that you can always just grab a couple more if one does not perform as you wish.
Always remember to remove the charger once the battery is fully charged. Very few chargers have the smarts to properly maintain a battery if left connected, without overcharging and destroying the battery.
