As for the Century C105? there are plenty of other makes that have 6v 225ah Deep Cycle batteries, nothing unusual there it's a popular size, but i would take a sizeable bet that the T105 was around long before the C105
Unfortunately the C105 doesn't have the reputation of the Trojans outside of Australia cause for the most part they are unknown, even i have no idea of how reliable they are or what sort of life can be expected from them, but i do know that the Trojans i replaced where originally fitted in Nov 2009 and are still soldiering on, although at a reduced rate now, so for where i plan on going it's best to stick with what i know...until someone can prove to me otherwise that is
