SLA Battery 12V 8Ah AGM VRLA (F1 Terminal) SLA1075

The red light on my Verizon FIOS unit came in early November. The red light indicated that the backup for the phone during power outages would not work. The instructions on the Verizon website said that any 12-volt 7.2Ah SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) battery would work. I looked at lithium batteries with the same power and size, but there were no reviews reporting using them with Verizon FIOS, so I went with the safe choice, selecting this Interstate Lead Pack. The battery has been installed for a month and working fine. How long it will last is not known at this point. The only difficulty was getting the old battery out. To release, one had to press two levels on the side of the old battery; they were extremely tight. I had to use two large screwdrivers to force the levels to release the battery. Update: January 2024. I had an 8 hour power outage and was able to use my FIOS phone line throughout on the backup power from this battery.

It's obvious Interstate is above and beyond any other batteries of this model. I've tried so many supposed high rated brands for over 20yrs that totally sucked and failed relatively quickly, especially if not used continuously. I use it for a mini PA speaker. They hold up very well even when depleted. I think interstate should send me another one free for this truly honest advertising plug. This is NOT a paid review. They ARE the best durable battery in this particular model. The brand name says it all.

I'm so glad I was able to purchase these batteries for my mom's stairlift. No issues thus far.

I've not had any issues with this battery (bought to replace a battery in a Verizon FIOS unit - Verizon doesn't tell you you're responsible for battery replacement until one actually fails). Easy replacement, and proper fit. Less than half the price of the officially-sanctioned replacement. If it lasts a year, I'll consider it an OK deal.

Good so far. I needed it for my Petra Sprayer.The original battery died after 2+ years.

Fits my backup battery that back ups my computer, modem, router, and scanner. If there's bad weather, and I lose power. I can still charge my phone, and shutdown my computer without ruining my work.

The battery arrived in four days - three days before the ETA. That was nice. The battery itself seems sound. Of course, as with any battery, longevity and service life is a big factor in the value of the item. This Interstate battery was priced below the competition in my search. I typically get 3 to 4 years of service from these 12V 8Ah batteries. Time will tell if the lower price translates into value.

This battery arrived fairly quickly and was very well packaged. Unfortunately, upon opening the package and unwrapping the battery, I saw that the positive terminal was heavily corroded (please see the 2 pictures). I was very--and unpleasantly--surprised. It looks as though it had been heavily used, in a humid environment, but the good quality of the packaging suggests that it could been a new battery that was sitting on the shelf for quite a long time. This item is not returnable; however, Amazon was terrific (as Amazon usually is) on refunding. That noted, I now have a piece of hazardous junk (it is a lead acid battery) that needs proper disposal. Assuming this was not a used battery, I hope Amazon can establish better inventory control processes for items like this that have short shelf lives.

I have connected this replacement battery to an old CyberPower 525SL UPS and it has worked flawlessly now for a few months - We have had several power outages, which is often the case in my area, and this battery has certainly paid for itself. Well recommended.

This is a great savings for anyone with a security system. These batteries sell for over $40.00 normally and you need to drive to larger cities to buy them. Very happy with purchase & savings.

Quick shimoment

The battery was delivered quickly and well packaged, allowing easy access to remove it and install it. I needed for a security system and this fit the bill perfectly. Exact size and capacity needed. I'm quite satisfied with this purchase and would recommend the battery replacement. Just right and at a really economical price!

It was as advertised. I would order from this supplier again.
