Review: Very pleased w/quality, battery longevity - We purchased 2 of these batteries for a Harmar SL600 Stairlift. We purchased this battery brand because the original batteries were Interstate. They lasted 7 years. Harmar says most batteries will last 1-2 years. Many other compatible brands were $7 less for each battery, but if these last 2-3 times longer, they are well worth it. Harmar advises the stairlift supplier replace the batteries. After replacing them ourselves, we know why. Our SL600 is a 2017 manufactured unit, and there were no instructions in the Owner’s Manual or online as to how to replace the batteries. YouTube had 1 video, but not for our model. Bottom line for replacing the 2 batteries on a 2017 SL600 is this: you need to have hex wrenches, Phillips screwdrivers, flat blade screwdrivers, and you need to remove the seat, footrest, cables, and battery housing to get to the batteries.. Pain in the neck. But since the supplier wanted $350 to replace the batteries, we figured we’d give it a try. It’s about a 20 to 30 minute job if you know what you’re doing. We were clueless so It took us just over an hour to disassemble (and find all the needed tools) and 30 min to reassemble. Supposedly with the new Harmars, battery replacement is much easier. Per our supplier, NO disassembly of seat and footrest required on the new ones, just remove the battery housing. If you’re wondering if we would recommend the Harmar stair lifts, absolutely. Very reliable, No maintenance required, and replacing the 2 batteries was the only problem we had in 7 years. Review: Great UPS Battery Replacement - Something broke in my last UPS battery, and clearly the UPS was very upset given the sad beeps it was making. The manufacturer wanted $60 for a battery replacement, which was about what I paid for the entire UPS. After a few measurements, I confirmed that this Interstate battery would fit perfectly and meet or exceed the original battery's specs, all for less than half the price. The battery was delivered to me in a huge box with minimal packing material, which meant it was probably knocking around the box the whole way. I was concerned about the terminals getting damaged, but the battery seemed fine although I would've liked to see more protection in the future. All in all, a great cost-effective replacement UPS battery. ## Features - Interstate Batteries, 12 volt battery 8ah Seal Lead Acid (SLA) (AGM), backed by a 12 month warranty.

Any standard charger slows to a trickle , and will stop at a preset voltage. Your cell phone is a classic example, when it gets to a full charge , the charging circuit limits the current or stopes it till it needs more. Also , if possible , put a battery maintainer on it if it is exposed to cold weather conditions. Thanks , Alan **Q: Can I use this In a ride on toy?** A: From what I know this battery will power anything that requires 12 volt DC. But your need to be careful about a number of things. The terminals have to be matched to your toy's connectors. The re-charging system for the battery needs to be compatible with this battery. Any trickle charge (slow) should work. Finally this battery has only 8AmpHours capacity, that might not last very long depending on how many amps it takes to run the toy. If the toys requires 8 amps to run it, the battery will last a little less than 1 hour before needing a recharge. Hope that helps. **Q: Will this battery fit a cyberpower 1325 va sinewave?** A: sorry, don't know what that is. **Q: In what country is this battery manufactured?** A: VIETNAM ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very pleased w/quality, battery longevity *by D***0 on September 19, 2024* We purchased 2 of these batteries for a Harmar SL600 Stairlift.

After a few measurements, I confirmed that this Interstate battery would fit perfectly and meet or exceed the original battery's specs, all for less than half the price.

All in all, a great cost-effective replacement UPS battery. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what I need it to do. *by S***P on July 25, 2021* It’s a battery. I’ve had Interstates for various vehicles over the years. I wish they made AAs. I expected nothing less from this. But here’s the thing; I have nothing with which to compare it for my given application. My use is not a powerweels, mobility scooter, security system but a shower. All it does (for the moment anyway) is power an inductive load in the form of a small boat bilge diaphragm pump, triggered on by a trawling motor momentary switch in a foot pedal. The heat is propane. The shower does use two D-cells to trigger the spark maintain a simple pcb for the flow sensor. -Still here? There’s a point because, remember, I’ve no frame of reference for this specific use-case for me. & I’m a little high. Ok. Onward!- But that’s the next task for this battery. I intend to add a voltage stepper down to the 3v this board needs, from this Interstate 12v battery. It will run alongside the D-cells for alternative water sources. Garden hose=no need for pump or 12v battery, so, on-board D-cells take over. Using the truck’s on-board potable water tank=12v battery/pump supply without having to add/remove batteries. I digress. I’ve nothing but positive thoughts about this. It’s taken a hit, dropping from a truck bumper’s height to the ground. No biggie. Fully charged a month ago. Still soldiering on with a good charge in use for the shower pump every day since. Haven’t needed to charge since. My next step is to treat it to my solar battery charger/tender/maintainer. That’s another product but it works super well for my truck. When I go camping, I’ll take that with this battery for camp washing up duties. It should behave well with the panel connected. TLDR? Ok. Fine. Here: Good battery. It’s Interstate.
