I just found this on MASTERS web page. product may not available other state, I do not know.

this would be good to set up WIFI Camera that requires power where power is not readily available.

I do not know how much my Xiaomyi yi ant WIFI camera uses up power but I can put to 5V regualator and set up.

perhaps can charge with this http://www.jaycar.com.au/2-6-12v-lead-acid-battery-charger/p…

    $19.11 showing up at Braybrook VIC.
    I don't know what I'd use this for unless i were to put 2 in series and have a very small 12V solar set-up.

  • Sunny84 on 14/07/2016 - 11:03

    If I put two In series that would give me 12v 10a right?

    • cheepwun on 14/07/2016 - 11:05

      yep

      You'd get 12V, but the 10 figure is for Amp Hours (AH) rather than Amps. It's a measure of how long you can draw a particular current for, e.g. 10A for 1 hour, 5A for 2 hours etc. though those figures depend on a lot of variables. You may be able to draw 100A for 6 minutes, but chances are you'll have cooked the batteries.

        You'd get 12V, but the 10 figure is for Amp Hours (AH) rather than Amps

        Correct. These little batteries often have a maximum amount of amps they can deliver that often isn't worth writing home about. Plus they should probably only be discharged 20-30% of their capacity before being topped up again, for the longest service life (like all lead-acid batteries).

        I have no idea what condition Masters has its batteries since they probably aren't a big mover, they could be very old stock that has discharged…who knows. I'd probably bring in a multimeter if I were buying.

        • banana365 on 14/07/2016 - 14:24

          If they're a bit old, then even "sealed" lead acid batteries can be topped up with distilled water. Usually the top surface is just a thick plastic sticker which can be removed to reveal rubber caps on top of the cells. Pop those off and carefully add the distilled water. I've done this a couple of times on old UPSs that people have been throwing out. Yeah, I'm a cheap arsed bastard, but that's why I feel at home here.

      • macrocephalic on 14/07/2016 - 13:45

        These ones are 3A rated.

        • SteveAndBelle on 14/07/2016 - 14:42

          I thought the same thing however I'm pretty sure that's just the recommended charging rate at 7.2-7.5V. Discharge current would be whatever those terminals can handle ;)

      • bamzero on 14/07/2016 - 13:56

        It's usually the 20 hour rate they specify.

      As a general rule you shouldn't be inhaling things that contain lead or acid.

    Can it charge my phone while I catch Pokémon?

    • cheepwun on 14/07/2016 - 11:46

      can actually, as long as you know what to buy for it.

      • c0balt on 14/07/2016 - 11:51
        +1

        It can, but don't do this. Lead acid batteries can vent toxic gas (provided they have a vent, which stops the battery exploding due to gas build up - and they do this as part of their normal operation which is much more often than lithium batteries explode), and having a sealed liquid filled battery slosh around in a backpack will increase the chances of this happening. They are also heavy AF.

        Just get a cheap powerbank on sale, much lighter and safer for this purpose.

        • cheepwun on 14/07/2016 - 13:38

          obviously for backpacking this is not ideal; for other scenarios it can be ideal (and if taken care of, will get more charge cycles than the typical Li-Ion)

          So yes, you can charge your phone while watching Pokemon (or anything else for that matter). Off-grid solar still mostly uses lead-acid chemistry. With sealed designs you don't have to worry about gases venting unless you are really stupid with the battery (and you don't have to worry much about maintenance either). If you did, these batteries wouldn't be used in all manner of devices, like alarms.

        • coxymla on 14/07/2016 - 13:57

          It's sealed and is gel chemistry besides so it won't "slosh around".

        • SteveAndBelle on 14/07/2016 - 14:51

          @coxymla: Looks like 'Sealed Lead Acid' so it will be sloshing around but wont spill or vent under normal use.

        • coxymla on 14/07/2016 - 16:24

          @SteveAndBelle: A SLA won't "slosh around" by definition. It will either be gel form or else liquid totally impregnated within absorbent glass matting (AGM.)

        • bamzero on 14/07/2016 - 16:35

          I thought these sla's were all either agm or gel, and they don't really vent much because the gas is absorbed again

        You can get a buck converter off eBay with a USB port on it for a few dollars.

  • bamzero on 14/07/2016 - 12:09

    They actually have any there? Was there yesterday and most of the clearance stuff listed in stock on the site I was looking for was nowhere to be found.
    Wasn't looking for these though, so maybe. I did see some 12V 22Ah ones on the "garage sale" clearance table though.

    Want to hope they've maintained these if there are any there, and not just left them to discharge for years on the shelf. Maybe grab a multimeter of the shelf and check the voltage on them first.

  • udyz on 14/07/2016 - 12:18

    Deep cycle battery?

    • SteveAndBelle on 14/07/2016 - 14:47

      Nope. These would just be standard SLAs, not AGMs.

  • tonyjzx on 14/07/2016 - 13:33

    They are $20 at rouse hill and apparently in stock.

  • altomic on 14/07/2016 - 15:20

    Could these be used with those electric bike wheels which were posted up a month ago?

    • SteveAndBelle on 14/07/2016 - 15:48

      Absolutely… however you'll need six of them in series to get around 48V but they'll be friggin' heavy plus for $73.50 you're getting pretty close to DIY LiPO pack territory. For approx $30 more you could build your own LiPO pack using multiple RC packs and enjoy lighter weight, smaller size and a loads of power on tap. Only problem is that charging LiPOs properly requires an expensive balance/charger but you can also just charge them any old way as long as you very carefully monitor the cell voltage at all times.

    • llama on 15/07/2016 - 01:36

      Absolutely. NOT

      Stupidest idea ever.

      They don't have the grunt, they are too heavy, and you just don't do portable power like that.

      • SteveAndBelle on 15/07/2016 - 07:23

        Strange response. I've used old UPS batteries (12v 5Ah SLA) on my eBike prototypes and other experiments for years and they've been perfect… so much so that some bikes still have them even though they've gone to new owners. Heavy and bulky yes but they're a great, powerful yet stupidly cheap power source that would otherwise end up being disposed of or in landfill.

        Here's a pic of one of my older prototypes using 4 x 12V 5Ah SLAs: https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/67715/40927/ebike.jpg Worked perfectly and even when the SLAs were close to dead they still provided 10km range.

        • Spending2Much on 15/07/2016 - 13:16

          That's awesome.

          @albanyson: Ha, thanks… but I don't know about 'awesome' ;) It was a great little commuter with the pictured SLAs during the prototype phase but greatly improved (as expected) when I built the LiPO pack for it. Far more compact, lighter weight and far more range however I've since built other non-motorised bikes to use during the cooler months so that one has been collecting dust for a very long time now. I basically wore it out as it was an old bike to begin with so I'd need to spend far more than its worth replacing components & bearing etc. etc. so I'll just move the motor kit over to a whole new frame and build up another one from scratch… this time I'll go for lightweight steel because that alloy frames flexed far too much when pedalling hard and using the motor resulting in a chain & sprocket issues.

          Obviously I was wrong, and these SLA packs should be the first choice for anybody building an eBike in 2016.

          Here's a pic of one of my older prototypes using 4 x 12V 5Ah SLAs:

          Look at that massive 240 Watt Hours (when new about 10 years ago) and it's hidden 7kg of pure awesomeness. Get cred and ePeen aplenty with this massive package hanging off ya frame!

          Chuck away that outdated LifePo4 pack which is a poxy 3.4kg, just half the weight and size. The girls in bike shorts won't even glance sideways at you with that twee little thing onboard.

          I better revise my comment to:

          Stupidest idea ever.

          They don't have the grunt, they are too heavy, and you just don't do portable power like that IN 2016.

          I am amazed you aren't recommending recycled NiCD portable drill batteries. They are cheap, and they deliver heaps of amps. Yeah, baby.

          But seriously… battery technology has moved on since the 1990s. Back then we got acceptable battery life from our Nokias using NiMH but that doesn't mean it's a relevant technology in the modern world. It's craziness to suggest that somebody goes and buys NEW SLA batteries for a NEW build.

  • llama on 15/07/2016 - 01:34

    These are used in UPS. And UPS batteries always die because they are left on trickle charge forever and the batteries don't like that.

    I have a set of shop scales (I use for eBay) that use a small SLA battery. Many kids toys use these. Get 4 and install in series on a 6V Barbie car and watch the shit and giggles.

    I need heaps to fix all the UPS in my garage. But no stock at my local Masters and I dunno if this is even the right size LOL

  • hongas on 15/07/2016 - 15:35

    I just picked up 3/4 battery were there.
