I need to find engineering so I can determine what loads they can support. This one was a spare, but there is a bunch of others still up. If I can’t determine the model/manufacturer, is there a way to figure out what they’ll support? I think I remember hearing these are a super common model.

Anything that has a label on it with cranking amps is not designed to be used in cyclic applications... Very different internal plate design versus an Outback 106RE or similar. Lead acid batteries designed for cyclic use (PV/wind) or telecom/float use will have a datasheet with 1 hour and 20

I don't think this is a true deep cycle battery but rather a hybrid marine one. It's good for backup but I wouldn't use it for a daily cycler. The 1A discharge AH rating is another clue... I have used these for backup systems though. I'd guess they are good for 80-100 cycles roughly (a lot of

I was just at one of the Autoparts stores, they had a series of battery that was 1/2 the cost of the next closest, it had a 2 month warranty. I figured that's about as long as it would last. They probably test the old cores, one's that would hold any charge they clean up and slap a new label

I would work out ohms law on it to make sure. Do you need to run data over the CAT 5? If not, you really don’t need the CMM5, just connect all the wires of similar polarity and connect direct to the power supply. From: Andreas Wiatowski Sent: Friday, December 29, 2017 7:14 AM To: af@afmug.com
