7Ah Sla Battery

I received this in the post yesterday.

Q. When is a 7Ah battery not a 7Ah battery?

A. When its temperature is below or above 20C (68F)!

"Remember, Ah capacity available (irrespective of stated Ah size) is affected by battery temperature as well as state of charge"

Examples.

5Ah available @ 10C (50F) --------------- 9Ah available @ 30C (86F)

From tomorrow on, I'll be replacing EVERY 7Ah battery that I find.

Na, perhaps not, I might find one at 20C (68F)

Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

It is true but also battery charge voltage 'should' be adjusted to suit ambient temperature.

Surely most batteries are closer to 30 degrees than 10, sitting in their nice comfy enclosures along with mr transformer, so nothing to worry about?

All batts claim their A/h at a set ambient temp. If using in a higher ambient temp then the capacity is increased while the life is decreased (if charging not reduced) and vice versa.

I always wondered why the little red ACT. Battery testers showed the temp .
