aechlin Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hi all, Happy New Year to you all. As the title suggests, what's the collective thought of these batteries from Ultramax? I have asked them if they are a direct replacement to the SLA type and they say they are indeed. Are they worth it, will they hold the system tight for much longer with mains failure than an 8 hour stint from SLA? As li-ion is the most unstable battery known to man, would you need to monitor its environment with regards to temperature triggering a zone maybe? Look forward to your thoughts Alistair Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/44290-12v-7ah-sla-swap-for-lithium-equivalent/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its lighter & claims 6 x the service life of a lead acid battey but its still only 7Ah & 6x the price of lead acid one ? I'd rather buy 6 lead ones as 18-30yr service life it likely me or the equipment it powers will be dead ?

Good point, as Menvier brought out the M2000 they did specify a sla, but in fairness that was recommended over 13 years ago - tech advances have moved on.

Yes I would recommend upgrading panel and battery when you do it .....

Nah, I think I shall stick with the SLA, as its a lot safer or should I say less prone to getting warm and spewing sparks and smoke out. I have progressed from a TS700 years and years ago to my now M2000 which I really like - just wish it had more custom outputs because 8 just isn't enough for me. Do you still play with these al-yeti?
