We have a stock of batteries from the last few years and have only just retired our batteries from our first season this past year. We had the option to get a few batteries from our local Batteries Plus store with an excellent discount and gave them a shot.

They were the Werker brand battery and we had some good experience with the brand through electric car racing. We used them all season and never had an issue, but they did test low in the available current department and no load voltage. They tested comparable to Enersys batteries that were two seasons old when load tested. Of our ten batteries that we brought to competition, the Werkers were placed at number 9 and 10 in our rotation behind every other battery we used. I would have to get into our shop to see the numbers, but I do remember them being comparable to a three year old competition used Enersys battery that had also been used for practice for two years.

They also seemed to not last as long by the ever so scientific kids driving until the lights go out method.

Again, we still used them and never had any performance issues with either of them in competition.
