Used batteries - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ski · 08-03-2007, 10:39 PM

I have a few (at least 4) extra 12v 17ah batteries that I salvaged from a UPS.
They work great, but come with no guarantee! I have been using this same type of batt for a while with no problems. It lasts me all day (over 12 hrs) without showig any sign of it being tired.
The cost is FREE!
Hit me up @ the launch to claim one or two, or shoot me a reply and I will save one for you.
I did a search on the unit and this is what it is (top pic).

I might have a few of the same AH and V but a different make and model.
Also, For the last 3 years I have been using a dc power supply to charge my batteries. It is 12v and 100ma.

These things work great! Just hook it up the night before you plan to use it, and in several hours it is charged. I can get these too if anyone needs one.

Hey Mark, I'll take one if you still have any. Thanks.

For free? I'll take one. How much for a charger?

I think I'll rip appart the old UPS at work to see what kind of batteries it has inside. I have a feeling they're a little too big to bring on a kayak though.

If the offer still stands I will take you up on it. Perhaps we could barter(block of cheese loaf of bread). Send me a (pm) if you have one left. I will also be at the launch friday at five a.m. so say hi.

Mark
I too would like to try one of these batteries.
I think the extra amps would be great.
Thanks

I will grab a few more and put them in my truck. I plan to fish tomorrow and will bring them.
No charge for the charger too!
