Believe it or not, some salespeople actually care about customers and want them to have the best success. Others, that give the profession a bad name, are the 'credit card and smile' types that are buying the business. Have no use for people like that (I can think of one major player that provides extravagant trips, expense accounts and salespeople with little knowledge.)

That being said, I am in agreement with you for the most part re: Fast Charging a battery. The ugly little secret is that Lead Acid is really not the best chemistry for rapid charging., not even close. All manufacturers are aware of this, more or less. I've always said it's a band aid until the next technological electro-chemical breakthrough.
