Instead of recycling my former electric Paramotor batteries seen on the right side of the photo, I repurposed them. Purchased an inverter, swapped the XT150 connectors by Anderson models (safer to handle). Now I have 4 back-up batteries which can power all my electronics for hours in case of an emergency.
If a forecast announces crappy weather heading my way with possible outages, I can quickly charge the 4 batteries and be ready.
As a test, I connected a LED light to the inverted after tuning all my office lights off. It took about 9 hours for one battery alone to reach the storage voltage level before I turned the inverter off. So, 9 hours x 4 batteries should give me well over 30 hours of juice to keep my computers, internet and phones, lighting going.
I also have two 1/2 hour SP140 batteries and those will last forever before reaching storage level
Inverters are great! Peace of mind level went up!
All I need to do now is to install solar panels on the roof and I will be able to recharge all the batteries to power all my electronics for free!

Hi Martin, not sure understand your question, sorry.
Sorry the auto type spelling must of kicked in.
I meant do you want to sell one of your 1/2 hour sp-140 batts?
No, because I use them both regularly, sorry.
