I bought 'new to me'
Service swap out agm UPS telecom batteries in 2011
Five years of hard use and they still do a nights work,
Just not as much reserve left in the morning now as then
IMO one of the very best bargains available
There are a number of members on here that have these batteries
Sometimes they call then surplus batteries
Where's the "like" button. I've saved a fortune on no more "acid wash" Levi 550's and T shirts. The savings have MORE than paid for the newer AGM battery.
Don't bother testing, when an AGM no longer covers your electrical needs, trade it in on a newer one and be done with it. Of course, don't abuse it either, keep it fully charged when not in use, and use it when you need it. If it's running out of power too soon for you, time for a newer battery or a capacity test.
