all I can say to help you guys is.. start looking for a forklift battery and enjoy the 30 some year half life of it.

I'm not bothering with battery's, I'm using slow discharge capacitors because its much cheaper.

How long were the dead cell batteries in use?

[magna59]

I must admit, the more I think about lead - acid batteries the more I think it should be possible to make a half descent cell at home. Yes OK it may not be as effeciant as purchased cell and is likely to take up more space. but this is 150 year old technology ( and there are discussions about cells in Egyption time, not lead acid ) but lead is a very workable material, and I cannot see the other requirement lead oxide being too mad to produce or buy, if work on in a well ventilated place.
