A few years ago, I bought a couple of 100Ah 12V sealed lead acid batteries from a dealer somewhere not fr off the M3, North of Basingstoke. He had hundreds of the things, removed from data centre UPS systems I now need another couple of these, as the last two were great, and still had loads of life left in them, I've been using them for around 8 or9 years and they were 3 years old when I bought them, and they are only just beginning to show signs of losing a bit of capacity. I use these as a back up supply to keep our network and internet connection up and running during power cuts, and could really do with a couple more of these batteries. The snag is that I didn't keep a record of the place I bought them all I can remember was that they took cash and were a big warehouse place, filled with pallet loads of sealed batteries. I will need to pick them up, as they are heavy, around 60 to 80kg apiece if they are like the ones I have, They are the sort of size that looks like it'll was designed to fit laying on their side in a rack system, but any gel type sealed battery at a bargain price would do. I only draw around 3A max off these batteries when they are in use and they sit on trickle charge at around 13.5V most of the time. Does anyone have any clues as to where I might find somewhere within reasonable driving distance from here that flogs off old data centre backup batteries, please?
