Karthik,
The specifications on the MK site are very close to the specifications for the old battery. The differences are slight enough to merely be differences in testing methods or the influence of the marketing departments. A close inspection of the discharge curves show that they are at slightly different currents from the batteries we have used in the past. A quick interpolation of the data would show them to be almost identical. Let's face it, a battery of the same physical size and chemistry with the same amp hour rating is going to be pretty close in performance. You can only pack so much lead and acid into that package. I hate to have to buy new batteries this year but if those are the rules then so be it.
