Neat!
Ed has told me he appreciates the work I'm doing on NTP, and has been
very helpful with my questions.

Good writeup. As far as the batteries being heavier from Raion Group,
that probably means more lead. The spec sheets should have enough info
to tell.
I have also noticed the batteries from the Rain Group are also a bit
less expensive than from other places. They've gotten the majority of
my business lately.

That's been my experience too, but I'm not sure how much that counts
for. As I recall, the F2 connector is a bit wider than the F1, and that
would make sense for higher-current batteries.
