OK, these are bigger than the orange ones.
134 amp hour at the 20 hour rate, 122 amp hour at the 10 hour rate.
The orange batteries were rated at 92 amp hour but I don't remember if
it was at the 10 or 20 hour rate.
These sell for $350 - $475 from discount retailers --- plus shipping for
a 100 lb battery so add another $50 - $75 for ground shipping to that price.
They are a 10 year constant cycle design that should last 15+ years only
being cycled a handful of times per year. This batch is manufacture
dated 2004 and newer and they were pulled from service in late
2007/early 2008. Once again, these were used in telecommunications as
backup batteries and were probably only cycled once or twice during
their online life. All of them are tested prior to shipping them to me.
I've been putting money back to buy more batteries -- but, here's the
catch, I can only afford 7 or 8 of these to put in the UPS's here at the
office. This is a warehouse pallet sale and they MUST be purchased in
lots of 16.
I have to pre-sell at least 8 of these at $275 each then max out my
credit card (putting money back means not running the card up <grin>).
Shipping to TCB buyers will have to be by TCB express.
If I can sell 7 I can probably eat the extra $275 for a while if there's
a late buyer, or, knowing me, I'll end up finding a use for the extra.
The ones I sell have to be prepaid sales. I just don't have the cash or
credit to be an entrepreneur on this one.
Anyone interested let me know. If there is enough interest we'll start
figuring out how to get the money into my bank account.
These are, of course, on a first come basis by my contact so depending
on who else he's talking to these could be gone tomorrow, or still in
the warehouse in a month. Speed would be a good idea though.
Thanks,
Gerald
