12v battery question
I need advise on these batteries for building a cart, from the little knowledge I have learned so far it seems they would be a good choice.
I have access to a huge number of these batteries used less than a year. enersys genisis xe70x http://www.newark.com/enersys/xe70x/...ery/dp/89C2931 |

Re: 12v battery question
A good cart battery is around 100 amp- hour. Those have less than 70. Won't be good for run tme. And the price, dang what will your coast be? Get you a new set of Trojans. Just my 2- cents.

Re: 12v battery question
If they are free it is a good idea? You won't have the run time of real GC batteries but you won't have the expense either Usually not the recommended choice

Re: 12v battery question
Garage, How many is a set? Where are you located? I am not in the industry, I have a friend that is upgrading many hybrid vehicles to the A123 cells. Some of the batteries have build dates that are a couple months old some a year old. How would I test them to pick the best ones? I am new to the whole electric scene, but very interested in learning. Thanks for the quick replies

scotty, That battery does not work the same way as a deep cycle battery. If the load test is not done right. It will bring harm to the battery. There is a big difference in the amount of time that this battery can be discharge. I will post the #'s soon. I have been following this battery for years. And in a lot of ways this is the best battery for the ev. But by far the closest battery to the ION- Lif. { A123 Battery} Which I use in my drag cart. |

Re: 12v battery question
It depends on how many I buy. I was planning on buying a couple pallets of these things, but I dont know what the shelf life would be verses how fast I could get rid of them? I wish that you lived closer, I am in Cali I would hook you up with a set to test. I hate to post a price right now because I dont know how many I am buying yet. If the shelf time doesnt hurt them I may buy a ton of them.
