Hello Robert Feldtman, Anecdotal information / experience leads me to prefer
Concorde over Gill. This opinion is supported by "The Aviation Consumer"
magazine in their Jan 2008 issue with some data.
You don't say whether you are useing flooded or VRSLA (Valve Regulated
Sealed Lead Acid) Concorde batteries. You might try the VRSLA version if you
have not already.

I'm getting sorta tired of replacing my Concorde attery in the Glastar every
14 months or so cause they just won't hold a charge. I need something more
reliable than that. -- I know I know - avoiding long times in between
useage, cold weather, deep discharge (like starting) short flights - all
that stuff. Without getting into too much of a commerical war - does folks
have preferences for Concorde vs gill (now Teledyne Continental) etc?
And yes I am using an off the shelf Auto zone recharger - maybe that is the
problem although it has the setting for different types and automatic
shutoff etc.
