Can anyone tell me what the equivalance of a knot is to mph?

Hi
From what i have read they will outlast an ordinary wet cell battery x up to five times. To get a better idea of the condition of the battery check your voltage. If it is above 12.3 volts you have a really good chance of utilising the battery. If the battery accepts current without the voltage rising above 13.5 volts for a time there is a fairly good chance the battery will be okay.
I would say charge them to manufactures specifacations and see what happens.
If the current drops back to 2% of the amp hr capacity of the battery at say 14.4 volts you can assume the battery is fully charged. Make sure that you don't go over 14.4 volt unless the maufacturer says so or you could stuff the battery.
Good luck.

I need to find a drain plug for a caravan carver water heatr made before 1986 thank you?

depends on the battery, but i would say a few years(3-4) if you keep a battery maintainer attached to it, if it is in the cold climate. It is better to keep the battery at a full charge... also do not worry about the concrete thing..that is a myth
