magnum deep cycle batteries

Dazza there are heaps of good batteries and models availble on the market. There are also heaps of brands that are just stickers brands, not actually made by the company on the sticker.

In what application do you want to use the battery

It really depends on how you are going to re-charge these batteries

What are you going to run from these batteries

How often are you going to cycle/use them.

Is this Magnum brand just a sticker brand, as I cannot find anything on the Internet about them at all.
Do you have a URL for information on these batteries?

Dazza,I may be a little late in replying to the question, but I'm the person who has these magnum deep cycle batteries & I would like to set the record straight from the comments made by OziExplorer. The main reason these batteries have lasted so long is that they were not in continuous use but were put into storage and a constant pulse charge was applied to reduce sulphation of the plates. They are quite large in size mainly in depth then in length & width. ( about the size of two start batteries put togetheron top of each other.). Since submitting that article in the achives, I have gone to a set of 2 x 6volt 190amp Magnum Deep Cycle batteries which are the size of a conventional heavy duty start battery & they are available from W.A. Solar Supplies in Osbourne Park W.A. Telephone (08) 9244 2668 & are $200 each. They are American Manufacture.
