The ones I gave Dad were 18V, 6Ahr packs-heavy duty stuff. But for all I know they could just be individual Cells wired together...I was lucky to not get a single dead Pack in the crate, so I didn't crack any open.

Hey, rgathright-thanks for the Link! More goodies to drool over...

And the day I will need this info draws nearer-I just got my Network Certification! A new career should only be a few weeks away now!

Oh, blueflame-since Industrial Batteries were mentioned, do you live near any IT departments, Computer stores or a major Data center? I've noticed that many companies replace UPS on a regular rotation LONG before they die-if you could develop a contact in the business( or the Battery Recycler they deliver to) perhaps you could grab some decent batts for just a core charge. Also, since UPS batts seldom actually discharge their contents barring emergencies, the used ones might have a lot more life left in them than your typical returned Cranking Battery, perhaps two years or more...
