[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica] What does the Reserve Capacity rating mean and how does it apply to deep cycle batteries?
ANSWER:
Reserve capacity is the number of minutes a battery can maintain a useful voltage under a 25 ampere discharge. The higher the minute rating, the greater the battery's ability to run lights, pumps, inverters, and electronics for a longer period before recharging is necessary. The 25 Amp. Reserve Capacity Rating is more realistic than Amp-Hour or CCA as a measurement of capacity for deep cycle service.

Reserve Capacity Rating is more realistic than Amp-Hour or CCA as a measurement of capacity for deep cycle batteries. Batteries promoted on their high Cold Cranking Ratings are easy and inexpensive to build. The market is flooded with them, however their Reserve Capacity, Cycle Life (the number of discharges and charges the battery can deliver) and Service life are poor. Reserve Capacity is difficult and costly to engineer into a battery and requires higher quality cell materials , so the cost is higher. The best battery is the one we pick that has the highest Reserve Capacity one can afford to buy .

I just wanted to give a nice "Thanks" to World Wide Battery Co. We purchased our Heartland in June of 2011 and February of 2012 the battery would not hold charge. After a quick phone call and a short email, the check was in the mail.
I do not know the quality of their batteries, but their customer service was great!
