Interesting.. I wasn't defective on the diagnosis after all! (Whew!
Makes me feel better now)
Stupid question dept: Are we SURE they are 12v ?? I didn't verify
them - I went off the experience of the Batteries Plus tech. I did have
a set of batteries on my old UPS that were the same physical size BUT
they were 6 Volts! Use the assumption rule - Just double check that the
batteries are in fact 12v before you charge a 6v battery on 12v charger.
Messy things can happen otherwise.
If they are in fact 12v, they could work up to 650va UPS's).
