Dry cell batteries

SMH sells dry cell "green, good for the environment," batteries. Are they good for the forklift, as they are for the environment? If anyone has any experience w/ these Discover Batteries, I would like to know
1) Is the running time the same as gel or sealed liquid bateries
2) Do they have the same lifespan as the gel or liquid batteries
3) how long to charge
4) is this type of battery smoke, mirrors and lump of horse s@#t, or do they perform as stated

If someone has practical experience w/ them, it is much appreciated.
