Ha! If my new Teleco DEKA 145 ET (and it does indeed require having an Extra Testicle to lift this 105 lb mofo) prevents me from burning holes in 3 pair of Levi 550 blue jeans near the end of it's life, from lack of dipping the hydromenter, it will have more than paid for itself double in savings!
As I am learning, Acid Rich Teleco batteries, charged voltages, construction, materials ( mine has tin in the lead plates too), and charging amperage rates are all over the place, compared to acid starved construction AGM's.
We wouldn't know and learn all we have without MexicoWanderer's insight to battery manufacturing and construction techniques, for that we should be thankful... Suck up his knowledge while he's still around to share it, folks.
Taking a surplus none conventional Teleco / UPS battery and employing it in an RV solution, for the savings, is or could be a cr*pshoot, if you are abusive, neglectful, or ignorant in it's preferred characteristics, along with do's and don'ts. Me, I don't like to gamble, ever, I like a sure thing.
