Are these batteries worth anything?
« on: March 19, 2013, 06:00:01 PM »
Three year old batteries.  What would the 8 hour rate be at 20 hours?

  Guy says they are 20 year batteries.  Is this in float and not being discharged as the spec sheet shows 1000 cycles?

   RE charging good enough for them?

Are they better then sams club batteries?

Here's the Data sheet, the 120Amphours appears to be an 8 hour rate.

Just curious

Oh well, the data sheet didn't show up as a link.

they'd probably be around 140 or so AH at a 20h rate, the rate just tells us they are really good at pushing the juice out, and an 8h rate isn't even all that great, in example the us2200 series golfe cart battery is 150Ah at a 5h rate, or 232Ah at a 20r at the 5h rate it can push 70a
Ignorance is not bliss, You may not know there is a semie behind you but you'll still be a hood ornimant!

Nothing fails like prayer, Two hands clasped in work will achieve more in a minute then a billion will in a melenia in prayer. In other words go out and do some real good by helping!
