A ripoff! you can get a 160 Amp/hour deep cycle (see trolling motor)
battery in MANY places for that same amount. Why settle for 87 Amp/hour when
you can have TWICE the capacity for the same amount...gets a thumbs down
from here...Eddie

The battery in this discussion is a glass-mat gel cell... a far
superior battery for radio use over a Marine lead-acid type. It will
last much longer, and requires less care. Glass mat batteries also don't
vent gas nearly as much as the marine battery making them much safer if
located in the ham shack.

For a battery of that spec. it looks like an excellent deal .....
except for possibly high added shipping charges for a 66 pound battery.

Good battery for the price, check what the ups ship charge will be.

Yes you also can buy a larger marine battery but it is not same type
at the one online. The sealed led acid (sla) batteries will not vent gas
unless they are abused or overcharged. Regular batteries will vent and
can spill acid.

Check your local hamfests, there always is a few hams selling the recent
pulls from the large UPS systems in our area. Most get pulled after third
year
of service. I have several yausa 12v 38ah batteries each went for $ 10.00
!

Just replaced 60 12v 7ah batteries out of our ups system at work,
ups guy more then happy to leave the batteries for me to give away.
