Charging leisure type batteries and Pb "Gel Cells" as used in UPS kit is different. I think putting a leisure battery on a gel charger is better than the other way round but I'd check on that before you explode yourself due to excessive venting from the pack :-)
Tanks for that - I was considering the possibility of using two much heavier batteries instead of those in the pack.
I have one which needs new batteries, and that would/would have removed the need to buy two small ones as well.
While the bigger batteries would be OK to use while charged, discharging them to some extent in a power out(r)age might have nasty results on restoration of the service, then?
