standby operations such as telecomm back up. That means spending most of
the time in float, with occasional short term high discharge rate with very
high DOD available.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

sounds SO typical for sealed batteries. It is why I never use em... never! If
they are 5 years old, you are probably at the limit of their life. Replace em
with flooded lead calciums and your customers (and you) will be happy for 20+
years.<BR><BR>my .o2<BR><BR>Todd</FONT>
