If anyone in the Seattle area needs 2 12V 7Ah

No good for me, I'm in the UK. Shipping would be terrible..
I have *two* 1kW Smart-UPS units with dead batteries. (And two more which
I am using but the batteries are 'weak'.)
Is there any way of rejuvenating sealed lead-acid batteries or is it a case
of once they fail to hold a charge, they are useless? (And if so, does
anybody know a very cheap UK supplier of them?)
In my experience dead ones are scrap :-)
For a UK supplier try ARD electronics
http://www.ardelectronics.com
12V 7.2AH at 10.66 GBP plus p&p and the dreaded VAT.
ARD are a good firm to deal with, if I phone an order before 4.30pm
and it's in stock, it usually arrives at about 9 am next day!
I have no connection with them other than being a long-time customer...
