Recommendation for place to order battery for Tripplite backup inverter?

Kengar · 02/13/2009, 11:18 AM

Assuming some of you have done the research already, I'm looking for a recommendation for a place to order online a 12 volt battery for my Tripp Lite automatic inverter backup. I'll be using it for the main circulation pump only, which draws 140 watts, so for a ten hour run time I'm probably looking for 140 AH. I want sealed or absorbed glass matt. There are so many sources/brands out there on line, I figured I'd just ask to see whether anyone else has already combed through them all to find a decent place from which to order.

Thanks.

I am not versed in the online sources for the battery's. But are there any "Battery Plus" stores in your area? I know out by me they sell them.

HTH

Good luck

Ive been using a DieHard Deep Cycle Marine battery for years with no issues. Why complicate things ?

I was going to say... I would just tie that into a deep cycle battery and be done with it

these ARE deep cycle batteries. I'm just looking for something online for presumed cost saving, and with on the order of 140AH.

Okay, since you wrote:

I will say no, I have not.

But to be semi fair, it sounded like you were trying to replace the one that is in there which is useually no bigger than a brick at most. Once I went online to see how big a battery was that could give you what you wanted, I realized it was a regulaer or even larger battery.

So, your a patent attorny, eh? Hmm, I might need you later, lol.
