[VHFcontesting] Battery Question

[David Muller]

Mark--

Google this:  PS12550 AGM battery.

I picked up a couple of these 55 ah used and was pleased to find they are actual AGM for around $100 new.  That's about half the price I've seen for others.
They weigh 34 lbs and have fold away handles. Even one beats the pants off my Walmart deep cycle 100 ah in terms of capacity and holding voltage, and the specs advise to charge to about 14v for deep cycle use.  When I got them they were reading over 13 volts and maintained 12.7 in use.  In fact, I decided not to
charge during rover stops to reduce noise.  At that price you could parallel a few.  That's all I know after one outing, but I was pleased with them.
