Here's something alot of you don't know know, HOW A BATTERY IS MADE.

First the battery complany makes a grid out of lead. The grid is "buttered" with a special lead oxide. It is then baked for a day to adhere the oxide to the grid. NOW, what the manufactures call black magic. The grids are hung in a fiberglass vat of sulferic acid, about 480 12V batteries worth. They start to charge them in reverse polarity for so many amp hours. Then they short them out, change the polarity then put so many amp hours as needed to give you the rating. The plates are then dried and set into your battery, welded together, a top put on and shipped to you.

I designed the control system for the "dry charging process for Prestolite Battery (who makes John Deere and other brand batteries).

Which brings us to the point that the plate welding process is about the only variable besides the composition of the lead oxide and grid composition. The condition of the welding tips and the cleanliness of the welding process is key. My old company also produced the weld monitoring systems.
