[RE-wrenches] Ni-Fe batteries

[Aaron Mandelkorn]

Jon, Iron Edison in Colorado is the only supplier I know of.  I am thinking about these as well. I know of a guy that has an Edison battery in his shop for many years with no complaints.   

Their contact info is: 
The Iron Edison Battery Company, LLC 
10171 W. 9th Dr. 
Lakewood, CO 80215  
720-432-6433

Good luck,

> Anyone know anything about Nickel-Iron Batteries? We sold some many years ago but our supplier stopped carrying them. I have a client with a fairly large bank of Hawker industrial batteries; 2100ah @ 48v. He is asking about replacing them with Ni-Fe as he has heard that they will last virtually forever, or at least longer than he might. Any thoughts on this? Also, any suggestions of good suppliers? Thanks.
