New nanocarbon 12V from Tesla.

Just looking at the work order they sent me. Among other things they replaced the 12V battery with a "new nanocarbon 12v". I'm not familiar with this type of battery but hopefully they last longer than the previous 12v batteries. If anyone knows more about this type of battery I'd love to hear about it's advantages.
The part number is: DCS33-UNCR, MS(1083774-00-A)

See this video. It explains what a nano carbon battery is.

So if I understand correctly these should reduce vampire drain and last longer as they can be cycled more times than an AGM battery. Hope this proves true as my previous batteries have lasted a year on average.

The ranger just left my house. He replaced the 12 volt battery in my car with a DCS-33UNCR made by C&D Technologies.
He tells me that this is a "nanocarbon" battery. The battery he replaced was also the same model of "nanocarbon battery. That battery was a replacement for my original battery that lasted 2.6 years. There were only 7 months and 2361 miles between the first "nanocarbon" battery and this "nanocarbon" Battery. He says this is the first "nanocarbon" battery that he has had to replace.

So your first deep cycle SLA battery lasted 2.6 years
Your second deep cycle SLA nanocarbon battery lasted 0.6 years

I guess we can hope that was just a manufacturing defect and the new battery will on average last longer.
