my server backup batteries i put in the Safari
102# each, 135ampHrs at the 8hr discharge rate
that 0.75# of lead per amphr
they were designed for an 8hr backup duty cycle in case of power failure, provide the sufficient number of batteries in the back to match the 8hr amp rate
which i think is 19amps
i don't remember the 20hr rate or the 100hr rate , but somewhere i have a PDF file with the numbers
anyway those are in the safari not in the bounder
in here i recently install an 8A4D 160# 200ampHrs
thats 0.80# of lead per ampHr
where (2) 6v GC weigh approx 124# and have 220 ampHrs
which comes to 0.56# of lead per Amphr
