FYI: If your in the market for SLA's do yourself a favor and avoid purchasing them from eBay vendor Ptron2. I bought four 20AH batteries from them and had several issues:
- Packaged poorly which resulted in damage to one of the batteries. - Batteries were over a year old when seller stated fresh stock, less than 30 days old. - Date codes and model numbers did not match. - Arrived in a discharged state though advertised as being fully charged before shipping. - Did not ship in "factory sealed box" as seller advertised, instead arrived shoehorned into two small USPS Priority Mail flat-rate boxes. - Unresponsive to emails and calls. Deletes emails unread. - Like pulling teeth to get a refund. I did a little research and Ptron2 does business under the following names so avoid these sellers also. - Battery Marketing Associates - EBC battery - Sunn Battery - PDC Furniture Pass the word, cross post, lets put a dent into this guys cashflow! BTW, eBay seller SLABATTERY (whom I purchased 18AH SLA's from after dealing with above) sent fresh stock with date codes as advertised. Though they were also shipped in flat-rate USPS Priority Mail boxes, they were larger boxes and the battery's were better packaged and arrived undamaged.
