    I just ordered a new battery for one. I should have watched this first. Great idea Lloyd.

    Great job on the upgrade, it is always good to have the extra standby time. It looks like the batteries are the type we use in alarm systems over here

      Thanks Joseph, I had 2 of these batteries so this looked like a good opportunity to put it to use. Have a great weekend

    Hello.
    Emergency power backup.
    The current battery is faulty.
    You replace it with a higher capacity battery.
    The capacity of the battery will be 2 to 3 times larger.
    You connect the new battery to the utility.
    Thick cables are effective.
    The big battery worked fine.
    That's a success.
    Thank you my friend.

      You should Gary, they work good. The battery will fail after about 5 years. You can replace it with the original type or use an oversize for extended run time. Take care

    Great idea increasing the battery capacity. I have one for the computer and radios, It also cleans up the voltage when we run on generator power.

    I have a couple of those kinds of batteries but for some reason I can't charge them with a regular battery charger,, do you have any idea why that is?

    • @RustyGlovebox
      @RustyGlovebox  11 місяців тому

      Sometimes if the battery get really dead, you need to have a good battery and the dead battery with jumper wires between the 2 then connect the charger with the 2 connected. It should bring the battery up. Good luck

    • @MissouriOldTimer
      @MissouriOldTimer 11 місяців тому

      I'll try that , these batteries are new and didn't come with one of those little chargers, I was trying to use my car battery charger,,, I don't know,, maybe that won't work that way.@@RustyGlovebox
