I *may* be able to source more of the orange camping deep cycle batteries at $150 each. Not absolutely certain yet but I need to know how many people would *definitely* buy one at that price before I empty my pockets getting them if they are actually available. I don't want to buy extras and have them sitting around eating up my bank account.
G2 P.S.If you have a "regular" battery backup/UPS hooked up to your computer/TV/whatever these work great for that. Those UPS units that you buy at any computer/electronics store that are around 350 - 650 watts will usually run your computer for about 15 - 20 minutes to allow you time to shut it down if the power goes out.
They usually have a 7 to 12 amp/hour battery in them. I pulled the battery out of the one in my office and attached one of the orange batteries. I gave it a few days to charge and "settle" using the UPS charger. Then I pulled the plug. I watched a full 2 hour movie then I plugged it back in. My employee, Chris, has one hooked to his TV/Sat receiver/stereo at home. Same model UPS, 650VA (which is about 400 watts). They had a power outage and it lasted over 3 hours.
I plan to buy a couple more specifically for that purpose.
