lol...the secret is out.
Not that I plan on running stock, but I just came across 8 tel-com/ups batts from a local places clean out/replacement. They do it every 2yrs, so the batts are that old, but we got em w/ a hell of a discount (as many as a buddy that works their could grab...for 5-finger-discount to him...trade for labor to us
)
The place just replaced 300 Group34 and 31 batts in there backup.
Just wish I would have run across this deal when we started building our van...would have stuck w/ a bunch of free 12v batts over buying 16v's.
I have 5 of the g34 batts here at the shop, all but 1 rests at 12.95v, the other is at 12.80v.
The other 3 are g31, gotta check them out this week.
Gotta decide what to build w/ these.
May coincide our next big build w/ the batt replacement of this place next time
......
Edit
Our 'acquiring' of these batts is totally legit. The place that had them was just letting them go. Plans were to recycle them.
