Funny thing is, the original owner was Huge!

I have two other identical batts I could use, but I wanted a 2s2p config. Oh well. I got a motor w/ freewheel and sprocket and a scooter basically for free. Check out the minibike thread to see the progress.

If anyone knows alot about sla's please chime in..

Their toast and you can try to charge them but it's not going to hold. I just got rid of abut 15 batteries that were bad. A couple were from the scooter I got and a bunch were from alarms and 4 were from UPS's that I got a while back.

Oh and if you have 2 12V batteries in series that would be 12S. LA and SLA batteries are 2V per cell, so they already are 6S1P
