One of my UPS backup units had a circuitry failure, leaving me with (2) sealed lead acid 6V 12ah batteries like the ones pictured below:
All my other UPS units use a single 12V battery, so these can't be saved and used in those. My home alarm system uses a 12V SLA for backup, but the control panel case won't accommodate these either... no room.
From doing some reverse research, these batteries are often used in those emergency backup lights in commercial buildings and also in a Streamlight Litebox flashlight.. and that seems to be it.
Not sure what to do with them. I could try selling them but the used marketplaces have been pretty desserted with people having less disposable income this year. Also doubt there's much demand for these on craigslist.
Don't want to throw them away since they have quite a bit of life left.
Anyone have any ideas how I could repurpose these?
