Greetings all
figured I'd post this in case anyone is interested.
I have a handful of new AGM batteries for sale, deep cycle, indoor-safe and
capable of extremely high current. They will happily charge or discharge on
however much current you want to feed/use from them.
I'm also posting them a few other places, so first come first serve.
They are a bit smaller than I remember, perhaps because Amazon.com is
quoting absurdly high capacity numbers on them (which I am now ignoring).
Biggest one is 44Ah capacity.
These are also a bit pricier than your average AGM cell, perhaps because
they use virgin lead or perhaps because they have such high peak current
numbers or are deep cycle rated *shrug* Either way no offense will be
taken if they seem overpriced.

These are AGM Dry Cell batteries- sealed, maintenance free, don't give off
hydrogen when charging, safe to use indoors or outdoors, and can be used in
any orientation (including upside down). AGM cells are happy with very high
current loads for both charging and discharging.
They are all Stinger Power2 series- designed for people with those obnoxious
car stereos you can hear a mile away. Those things use LOTS of power.
Stinger claims to use 99.5% virgin non-recycled lead, for whatever
difference that makes. They are Deep Cycle rated and can apparently be
completely discharged with little or no negative effects.
They're also a good bit more expensive than the average AGM cell, so no
offense taken if they seem overpriced.
I got these as payment from a friend who used to do car audio work. Specs
are what I could find online, but ignoring Amazon.com specs as they seem way
higher than anywhere else. These batteries are brand new, never used,
guaranteed not DOA.
