Default Lead acid battery mystery.

IIRC this was originally an 80 amp-hour battery and it certainly still
provides more than 10 AH at 12 volts, based on the lights that I run off
it. And it is usually powering a couple of PIR lights that also get
triggered through the night by cats, foxes, etc, so I suspect it's doing
better than that.


My posh tester tells me a lead acid needs to be replaced when the nominal
capacity drops by more than 20%. ;-)
