Does DEKA make a good UPS battery?
I took a trip yesterday down near San Diego, it was twofold. One was to replace my free Trojan T-1275 that was a golf cart reject already when I got it with a pig of a 105# UPS 145ah AGM battery from ...

I don't think AGM's waste current like a FLA battery do, they either take the current, or they don't, there appears to not be too much loss.NinerBikes wrote:Maybe it have happy ending too....
DEKA 145 AH went on at 14.42V at 11:15AM this morning, on the grid, on the MegaWatt, for a 12 or 24 hour deep tissue recharge cycle session. Hoping this works as a conditioning charge.
I've a sneaky hunch that if it only took 3.2 Amps, my voltage at rest is not going to come up to 13.1, or 13.06V or what ever... 12.91V for now is all she gets, unless I run her through a deep cycle 50% SOC to see what she comes back to, or at least a few discharge and charge cycles to shake her up a bit. Montana fly fishing is in the dog days of summer this year, kind of slow right now.
Maybe a trip to the Oregon Coast is in order to put her through her paces.
