[QUOTE="adder, post: 2190156, member: 12693"] My exide EL40 finally gave up after 9 years and 10months of use. One of the battery drops voltage on the dime with no load connected. So it was replaced with a pair of 26AH power safe plus batteries. Now the two powersafe batteries have a voltage difference 0.3v after compensating the voltage to the temperature, without the compensation the difference was as much as 0.6v (one was at 13.2v and other at 13.8V). I called exide and the person who visited say its fine but I not sure. The exide person did say to do a load test and see if the battery voltage drops significantly. I will have to do the load test at some point before the warranty period gets over. Now Exide service person(for stationary storage batteries) itself said he gets about 3 calls a day in Bangalore for battery trouble and 90% of the time its for sealed batteries failing within warranty. Now I did buy this battery knowing the crap reputation because its just never going to be discharge beyond 30min that to when the maintance cleaning work is done for the main inverter and it will at best power the router and security cameras, which as per APC should provide 10hrs of back up for the said load.
