Hmmm I got my hand on a lot of NiFe battery packs. Looks old and dirty. They look easy to restore (Just like a metal tank with 2 bolts and a hole). I wanted to know if they are good to put into an EV. Here's the info on metal tag : Type: SV12 10 cells 120 amp. hours normal charge 24 amp for 7 hours. I would be grateful to any who could tell me also what is a dead battery (i.e. each battery of the pack shows 0.60 volt) i got them in a wood case, the number of batteries in each case varies, but they're all linked with a metal bridge (series). It belonged to a very old guy who used them for a windmill.
Edit :Theyre NiFe accumulator. some websites say it's good because of low discharge, some other says it's bad because of high discharge.. :?
