agm battery info

[David A. Belsley]

I am looking to replace my, now worn-out, sealed lead acid battery.  I
would like to get an agm battery with at least a 100 aH rating (group
31), preferably a Concorde or one of its off-shoots.  Can anyone
provide me with a good source or two for such items?  Low price and
shipping are nice features.

thanks,

dave belsley, w1euy

Ironically, I've been shopping for the exact same batteries over the
last couple of days for work.  I don't know shipping, and I have no
affiliation with them, but check
http://thesolar.biz/Concorde_Battery.htm (PVX-1040T $140; PVX-1080T $150).

You probably already know this from your research, but ensure you get a
charger spec'd for AGMs, though the 'flooded' setting on SOME chargers
will also work.

Check locally for a chain store called
"Battery Tech"  They have AGM batteries.

Thanks for the info, Mike.  That's the best price I've found, subject
to shipping costs.  I have the A&A Engineering Smart Charger.  I
believe it is appropriate for AGM batteries.  If you know differently,
I would appreciate knowing.

thanks,

There is a 75AH Unigy AGM battery offered through Hamcall that looks
ridiculously inexpensive.

It sure looks tempting except for that $51.00 shipping charge to Tucson.
However, they also have a 25ah battery with free shipping for only $40.00.
I just might go for that one because it would be a nice step up from my
current 15ah battery.

I think shipping is about the cost of the battery, but still a decent
price The 25 AH one is free shipping thou, should run the K2 for a
goodly while And the K1 or KX1 for about a month or three.
