Battery question

[Juicee 10+ year member]

I do not know a lot about batteries and all the different types there are. I stumbled upon one I thought would work well and reasonably priced though,

12v 140ah TR140-12***Tempest AGM, Valve Regulated, Maintenance Free, Sealed Lead Acid Rechargeable Battery $242.00

What do you guys think?

Never heard of Tempest, and "batteryspec.com" didn't choose to post many specs on that batt.

For that much $$ I would go with a good deep cycle batt from a better known/recognized mfg.

My 2¢.....

the specs looks legit but never heard of them try them and see how it works for you.

Looks ok but not at that price.

It has more AH than the kinetiks and xs powers in its price range... and its 92lbs. so it is pretty big.

I think I will just need to sell a couple things first, I dont know much about batteries but it has 140AH which cant be that bad, right?

No, I didn't take the time to look for the link, earlier. My bad.

But I did look at the comment about "12 volt, 143 Ah for Wheelchairs, Scooters, UPS systems and general purposes."

"General purposes" is pretty vague....but I still stand behind my earlier comment about going with a better known/respected brand: it's not like I've heard a ton of positive talk on the various car audio forums about Tempest wheelchair batteries.

AND for that price I can pick up ones that ARE being given consistently good ratings for use in a demanding car audio application.

Do what ya wants ta do.....hell, maybe they'll be the next capacitor or monster-sized speaker wire! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif
