It usually helps to wait more than 6 minutes before you double post.

Yes.

Could stand to be cleaned up, and probably needs a nice long trickle charge.

If it still holds a charge.

But keep in mind that it is an older battery, and they do tend to have a 'lifespan.'

I had an SP1000 for 3 years with no problem, though.

do they have dates of when they were made?

Loud is right here, that battery looks rather old and they for sure have a limited lifespan based on usage and maintenance. Basically any battery should hold up for at least a year if kept charged and used properly. Good batteries should last at least 5 years under the same conditions. The best batteries in the world will hold up for maybe 10 years. But be sure that an older battery has for sure lost a good portion of it's lifespan. You should be paying a mere fraction of new cost for an old battery.

Think of it as pizza. You are buying left over pizza from last week out of some dudes nasty fridge and there is only 2 slices left. He is asking full price of a whole pizza. Are you buying?
