<DIV><SPAN class=939111123-06012014><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
many of these batteries in service. They are generally very good batteries but
they must be charged properly. Which goes for any battery, really, but these are
not as easily recovered from under-charge. At 12 years old I would expect they
are approaching end of service, so good to let the client plan for that.

most common issue we find is a cell or two that is not taking full charge. To
remedy that a 2V / 50A charger is connected to that cell to bring it up in
balance with rest of the bank. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

servicing an existing battery backup system with some big Deka AGM battery
banks. I believe they are about 12 years old. Does anyone have any general
comments about Deka batteries? Any suggestions about how I would test these
would be greatly appreciated. Here’s a link to the product:</SPAN></P>
