I don't have long term data yet, but I have lotsa real world experience with these batteries. I imported them myself from China, and am pretty happy with them so far. I did have one that was sick in the pack in my second conversion, and the manufacturer had a replacement air mailed, and on my doorstep, no expense to me, within a few days. I have not used calb or winston cells, so I am not sure how they compare. I have a pack of GBS batteries in my first conversion, and I am not as happy with those ones as I am with these. Those GBS batteries have not given me any trouble, but they do sag a little more under load.
