It Would be Nice... If I Had a Clue

[LDS]

Gentleman,


If my brain were a little bigger... it would be nice.


Please see the attached images, for the life of me I have researched and am unable to find the chemistry make up, CCA, Ah and other specifications for this battery.


I know 'Schneider Electric' acquired 'APC' and combined it with 'MGE UPS'.


Are there any Jedi Masters to help out this little white guy, just a battler trying to figure this out??


Many thanks Comrades.

What exactly is it out of? e.g. model of the ups?

Unsure my friend... This is predicament I am in. All info I know I passed on..... Well I have 20 of them...


Water Corporation back up supply grid - don't know the composition to know if they will go well with camping / touring set up.


Was going to off load a few to the lads as well.

Amazing! I did a Google search for 'm2al12-55' and every result was in Chinese. Five minutes later I did the same search and this was the first result

Aliexpress.com : Buy Genuine Merlin Gerin series M2AL12 55 VRLA battery package 12v55ahUPS from Reliable battery santa suppliers on East Flower Co.,Ltd | Alibaba Group (http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Genuine-Merlin-Gerin-series-M2AL12-55-VRLA-battery-package-12v55ahUPS/1875536_32516415115.html)

I was wondering if this was something similar?

B.B. Battery MPL55-12, 12V/55Ah, Sealed Lead Acid battery (AGM), 261x173x200 mm (LxWxH), Terminal I2 (Insert M6) - MPL55-12-S (http://www.battery-direct.com/Battery-MPL55-12-S.html)

I'll check back tomorrow to find out how you are going with it.

Things do not add up on the advertisement the search return the first time was Chinese and funny enough the second it showed your link...


It is spam, complicated algorithm using key search words from your browser history.


The image is of the battery that is "M2AL12-55" however the item listed for sale is not a 'MGE UPS Systems battery' it is 'Genuine Merlin Gerin series M2AL12-55 VRLA battery package'.


Other details don't add up either.


Many many thanks for your help.

The product description does begin:

MGE Battery Main features:

and Merlin Gerin and Schnieder Electric are one and the same...

Merlin Gerin and Telemecanique are now Schneider Electric (http://www.schneider-electric.com.au/sites/australia/en/company/brand-migration/brand-migration-te-and-mg.page)

Can't categorically say it's the same battery but I believe it is.
