The batteries were to provide backup power for a 7 unit condo. The inspection demanded new wiring to be installed so they are selling the set of 14 PS-62000 batteries. They are less then a year old and were never used.
I just aquired a 1988 Fiero and plan on using it for an EV conversion. I am still in the research/learning phase right now. Don't want to buy something that will not work. I didn't see anywhere if these were deep cycle batteries or not. The manufacture hasn't responded to my inquiry either.
On page 2 there is a chart:
Life Characteristics in Cyclic Use. It shows 200 to 300 cycles at 100% DOD. This would be considered Deep Cycle. Of course you would not want to use them to 100%, maybe 80. And then expect maybe 3 to 400 cycles.
Less than a year old. Do they have a manufactured date or warranty date? Where they installed and not used? Were they periodically charged or float charged? Lots of unknowns which could affect SOH, state of health.
I know from experience that batteries from UPS (standby power) often set unused in the unit for years (because it is backup not needed), yet those batteries have a float charge on them and dry out. Even the AGMs. And after that happens, they are boat anchors. I even saw this on a UPS which was never installed. Don't remember how old it was, maybe 4 years. Still had the shipping tape over the plug. But the 4 batteries inside were dead as doornails and could not be brought back to life.
So, less than a year old. Maybe. And how long before you actually use them? And can you take care of them until you do? Hey, I don't know. Sounds better than 50/50 they might be good. Can you test them?
Your money, your choice, your opportunity
I hope it works out.
