This battery is my primary power source for a remote steel shed that contains all of my electric starting power tools and toys, five in all. The charge on all being maintained simultaneously by a 50 watt solar panel, a decent controller and this battery. I have no worries even after sitting for weeks in winter temps that all of my machines will start and that their batteries are maintained fresh. The primary battery also runs interior lighting, a CB radio, and my paging alarm system. This battery performs well at all temperatures, even well below zero. If I ever need to replace it, I'll happily buy another.

I have these and will be buying more. I have 30 of UB 12350 35 ah batteries that are almost 8 years old now. They run 2-1500 watt tru-sine inverters and are filled by 21 harbor freight 15 w panels, also 8 years old and 890 watt kyocera. With a 6+ year old HY energy HY400 12 volt wind turbine, known now as a Windmax HY400 5 blade. The Universal Battery brand is tough and easy to find. The Amorphous panels from H F are not the best but charge a hour before and hour after the Mono panels do and they do charge ( 1.39 amps) in a full moon!!! In full sun they still work well, 19 amps when they were new, 14.3 amps now after 8 years. New style HF (topray) panel seem better than the old ones I have.
Wanna save ? Use soft copper plumbing refrigeration tubing, type L to link your batteries. I have 3/8 OD inserted into 1/2 ID inserted into 7/8 OD soft copper pipe. Cut to length, bent to shape, hammered flat 2" of the ends and drilled 5/16 holes used stainless bolts and brass washers to bolt up. Slip 1 1/8" heater hose (black and red hose) over it to insulate "before" flattening ends cut 4 inches less than length you made. Handles 1500 amps easy, clean and saved me $400 bucks on cables for 30 batteries. Also made my 9'3" run to big 5000 watt HF inverter with it adding a 1/4" soft copper tube in the 3/8ths OD. I use it for 4 to 6 hrs a week of welding and cutting.
Suggestion? Shop Amazon suppliers for these. They will warranty them better than a local dealer, lesson learned on that one in my case.
****Helpful LEARNED facts: Never allow the voltage to drop to 10.7 volts, ever. That level is 80% D.O.D. (Depth of Discharge). When it drops to 11.4 you are at a safe but taxing 55% of D.O.D. and to make yours last as I have never let voltage get below 11.6 and you too may get 8 plus years out of your battery. I also hit mine with a 40 amp plug in battery charger 2 times a year till they get warm to stir them. I've owned Trojans, suretttes and Walmart (johnson controls) and NONE have the balls that 30 of these have (1050 hair frying amps) for my solar/wind home. Exide 6 voltreal good, Odyssey Deep cycle High $ but really good. The UB 35 amp So far, still kickin a$$. Your choice, I even have 6 of these grouped in 2 packs of 3 that for 4+ years have started my 1997 Ford diesel truck, cheaper than the batteries they told me I needed by $60.
I am shopping now for 30 more because I doubt they will make it through the winter in Idaho. But, I thought that last year too!

I bought a 2 pack, of the 35 amp hour, UB12350, 12V, SLA AGM batteries from this company. These are standard sized and will fit in almost all power mobility scooters and wheelchairs.
I am rating them 4 stars. Why? Service. Price. Quality. Quick Shipping. All deserve 5 stars.
However, packaging for the shipping and arriving sometimes with bent terminals? Should get 3 stars at most.
Each battery was shipped separately, inside its original box (mine were made in China), and that box was then placed inside another box. One battery arrived with 2 bent terminals (one of the terminals also being squashed kind of flat) and the other battery arriving in perfect shape. I had previously read that there are sometimes problems with shipping. Too bad. Just putting them inside a little bit better shipping box could avoid ANY problems. Then I would give them 5 stars. But as it is, your battery may arrive with bent or squashed terminals. Then you have 4 concerns:
1. Should you try to straighten out the terminals? Lead is soft and straightening it out can sometimes be done. But you have the fear that you might break the terminal completely.
2. Or, you might crack the `leakproof' battery case, either at the top, around the terminal or on the side, while using pliers and wrenches to fix the terminal.
3. If you try to fix it yourself, are you voiding the warranty, if your attempt to fix it fails and you need to return it?
4. If you decide NOT to try to fix it, but just to return it for another, you will then have the hassle of contacting Amazon.com, repackaging it, printing a shipping label and waiting for a replacement. Not necessarily a big problem, but an inconvenience, and there is no guarantee that the replacement might not also arrive with bent terminals. Still, this is probably the `safest' option of the 4. (Save your shipping boxes.)
Both of my batteries arrived fully charged at 12.85 and 12.86 volts, measured on my voltmeter. After straightening the posts on the one battery and putting them on my charger, they ran up to 13.05 volts, but once the surface charge was bled off, they sat at 12.94. This is greater than or equal to 100% charge, which is generally listed as 12.7 volts, in case you don't know. They provide plenty of long lasting power, and will send my power wheelchair/scooter many miles. I plan to go to Disneyland with mine, next month, which is why I bought new batteries.
These are SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries. Some people contend that power wheelchairs and scooters should use equivalent GEL batteries, but there is not much practical difference for most users. The GEL batteries MIGHT survive a few more chargings, that is the advantage of GEL, but the difference is probably nil for most people. How many more chargings do you need when they can both be charged well over 1000 times, if properly cared for? On the other hand, the AGM batteries cost considerably less than GEL, carry about 10% more power (35 amp hours, compared to 31 amp hours for the equivalent GEL battery), and they charge faster with less problems. Both types of batteries are fully sealed, leakproof, and rated for travel, including on airlines.
If your scooter or wheelchair takes two batteries, you should probably replace both batteries at the same time. Certainly you SHOULD NOT use one GEL battery and one AGM battery together.
I am very happy with mine, and I will order these again, if I ever need more.
Addendum: I took my mobility scooter out and I went 3 and ½ miles in it. Then I checked the voltage of the batteries and they had dropped to 12.48, indicating about a 15% discharge. According to that, these batteries should power my chair at least 15 and maybe even 20 miles before draining too far, and I am a very big heavy guy. Clearly they are working well. Most people could probably go farther. Around the house they might only need to be charged once a week, but if using them more, they should be charged every day. Most experts agree that with batteries like this, if you charge them daily, or at least regularly and don't drain them more than 50% between charges then they should last for years.

I have a Companion II Scooter it is about six years old and has been my passport to Freedom. When it died I had to call the VA (Dept of Veteran Affairs). About a month later I got a pair of batteries delivered and installed into my scooter. The batteries ended up being no good. Then I had to call the VA again. Two months later the VA authorized to have the key and accelerator assembly replaced. This didn't help as the problem was still the bad batteries. Then the on-board charger needed replacing. Still you can't charge bad batteries. The scooter has been down and unreliable since june 2011. By now it is time for me to take matters into my own hands, after all the entire scooter has just been rebuilt, and being an avid fan of Amazon I decided to buy a pair of batteries from ecom.Electronics after reading good reviews. They showed up lickity split, I installed them and my scooter is back on the road again. I have made two trips into town (about 3 miles round trip) for a total of six miles. I decided to charge these new batteries for the first time. Since then I have been to town three more times and the batteries according to my meter on the scooter is still in the green and going strong. So I am planning a fourth trip into town. These UPG D5722 Sealed Lead Acid Batteries are the best. I will definetly by-pass the VA next time and get my next pair of batteries from ecom.Electronics and avoid a seven month delay dealing with the VA. I highly recommend ecom.Electronics.
