This is for a project I am working on for the club, rather than for me. Does anyone have a spare battery they don't need? Preferably someone reasonably local to me so I can collect - Farnham.
My plan to use the Optima battery hasn't worked out - the thing just won't hold charge.

Re: WANTED: Spare car or leisure battery
I have a couple of of batteries from my Mother’s mobility scooter which you are welcome to. They held charge when I replaced them a couple of months ago but I’ll check they’re still OK. I am in Teddington.

Hi David -
That sounds like a possible solution - thanks. Can you tell me how many amp-hours each one is? And physical dimensions too if possible - I've already built a box for the Optima that turned out to be duff, so just wondering if they'll fit in what I've already made. I imagine they're smaller.
Thanks!
Andy

Thanks David - that sounds ideal. I’m making a ‘digital sign’ for use at club events where there is no power, and calculate that I need about 30ah to run the load for 10 hours.
If you think they’re holding charge ok I might come and get them if that’s ok?
