Updated Nov 30, 2009

The Extreme Cycler 200 battery is Group 31 product engineered to handle demands driven by no-idle legislation. Available with 700 cold-cranking amps and 200 minutes reserve capacity, the flooded product is a bridge between the company’s pre-existing Group 31 product lines and its RoadForce AGM-200 battery, a valve-regulated absorbed glass mat product. Design elements include flooded epoxy anchor bonding, a reinforced ribbed case, heavier terminal connections, screw-in caps with rubber manifold venting and oversized cast-on straps.
