Batteries

For seemingly the first time ever, I managed to get something for free.  I had our UPS system at work serviced and the batteries were scheduled for replacing.  This doesnt mean they are no good, just scheduled for replacement. 

They are the gel sealed gasless\non spillable type so perfect for me.  54amp hours.

The guy that services the kit tested them all for me and chucked away 5 out of the 18 in the system.  The rest were ok and rather than be dumped, I thought I’d put them to good use.  So I have 13 good batteries.  I am putting a small 2amp charge through them to charge them slowely with no fancy pulsing or anything.  12 hours for each one.  I will re-test before I fit them and use the best 8.
