So these are C&D brand AGM batteries?
What have they been doing since 2014? Sitting on a pallet? Being float charged? In service in said 3 Phase UPS? Depending on shipping cost, it sounds like a remarkable deal, but not if they have been charged and discharged for 2-3 years worth of power outages. I have bought new-old-stock AGM telecom batteries that sat on pallets for 12 months, and they required almost no charging to bring them up to full state of charge. (I think after a year from date of manufacturer they can’t be sold as new anymore.) Flooded cell batteries would be a different story if they were just sitting there discharging since 2014, they would probably be totally discharged.

I am planning a home solar setup and came across someone that is selling the batteries from a 3 Phase UPS. There are 36x ups12-300mr(12v at 78AH) I think that I could get the whole lot for ~$600. the batteries have a date of manufacture of 2014. Is this a good deal. -- Zach Underwood (RHCE,RHCSA,RHCT,UACA) My website <http://zachunderwood.me> advance-networking.com <http://advance-networking.com>
