| U.S. BATTERY 8VGC | TROJAN T875 | CUSTOMER BENEFIT | 
| 128 minutes @ 56 AMP draw | 117 minutes @ 56 AMP draw | More Reserve CAPACITY! How? | 
| 64 lb. Weight | 59.5 lb. Weight | MORE LEAD means more capacity | 
| 15 plates per cell | 13 plates per cell | Easier to water, ¾“ more margin for error in getting the water level correct. Water less often! | 
| 5% Antinium Alloy Blend | 4% Antimony Trojan Alloy (Reduced from 6%) | Antinium has grain, minimizes grid corrosion, extends plate life. More efficient charging due to improved gassing performance. | 
| NEW Diamond Plate Xtreme Capacity2 Technology Paste | Trojan uses T2, but not enough to increase the 20 HR Rate! | Proprietary formula uses synthetic tetrabasic lead sulfate, ensures uniform chrystal size, higher conversion efficiency and capacity, PLUS: 
 | 
| Chrystalock plate curing | Alpha Plus plate curing | Optimized crystalline structure, TTBLS paste for extra life. Trojan’s alpha lead dioxide is formed with high temperature or high pH, neither of which results in any advantage. | 
| Amerace Rubber Seperator | Cell Force Separator | Recent cost-down for Trojan. Allows antimony migration, over-charging and water loss | 
| Hand welded Buss bars and plate connections | Cast-On-Strap (COS) | Recent cost-down for Trojan. Less reliable top lead. | 
| Positive locking Speed CapÔ | Manifold push cap | No vibrating loose or acid spitting! | 
| Positive terminal weight = 152.1 grams | Positive terminal weight = 128.4 grams | 23.7 grams heavier More durable | 
| Negative terminal weight = 142 grams | Negative terminal weight = 126.3 | 15.7 grams heavier More durable |
