I use these for SLA replacements in UPS systems. The life is 5 times longer than the SLA and the temperature specs are very good for us that like to fish in the cold. They have build in protection circuitry and are meant to be charged by the same chargers that SLA's use. Just check the maximum discharge current if you want to use for starting an engine. Otherwise a deep discharge can over-discharge the battery and it won't recover. Almost all of the SLA replacements here have all of the over, under, excessive (late night, cold and stupid moves) specs taken care of. They are all half of the weight of the SLA's and are sealed. They are pricey, but over time it will be cheaper. Great for lighting, electronics and pumps. http://www.batteryspace.com/Powerize...B-and-LED.aspx I popped this guy in a Pelican box and added a waterproof connector so I could hook up a solar panel to charge it up in the car or home to get it ready for next time. http://www.batteryspace.com/lifepo4b...erstorage.aspx Look around the website and you will probably find something that will work well.

bad example, heat was not the issue for the airline, the issue was the gases emitted by the batteries not being able to be vented properly as the box containing them was too small. which caused a small less then 1 inch blue flame to be produced.

The battery that you have linked, as well as probably all LifePo4 batteries, requires a special charger (scroll down to charger). That would be a good alternative to a 12v 12a LifePo4 battery because it only requires the same space. Although neither will fit into the WalMart type battery cases, and both would have to be regulated to use with our small bait tanks. I am using a 12v 12a LifePo4 battery from Bioenno Power (for my FF) that I got shipped with charger for $150. I added a Square Trade warranty for $20 for 3 years of protection. I have not really tested it yet, but have run one for at least 16 hours over a weekend without my HDS5 shutting off.

Pack designers on the other hand adjust the current capability by adjusting the number of cells in parallel. Energy density in this instance stays constant and capacity increases. Heat, fast charge/discharge, and the state you leave your battery at have the most impact on cycle life and irreversible capacity loss. Most battery manufactures ship batteries between 25-50 percent state of charge to maximize battery life and safety. |

Here it is with a Hobie bait tank, full of water, pump under load:
12V --> 1.37A 11V --> 1.20A 10V --> 1.06A 9V --> 0.91A 8V --> 0.77A 7V --> 0.64A 6V --> 0.52A 5V --> 0.39A Good thing I did this. When I had the tank full, I noticed the front seam is split and leaking . Not from abuse, maybe a manufacturing defect? Time to get out the 5200. |
