NiFe USA series batteries?

That website indicates those batteries are being made outside of Gainesville FL. and there is a 2013 copyright date code at the bottom of the page.

I did not see any dates on the spec sheets, cycle life or discharge test data. There was a 6/23/2012 date on the MSDS sheet.

So they could be currently being made in Florida or maybe not.

Maybe the OP smily03 would like to contact them to find out costs and delivery possibilities.

There is a very good reason not many people use them and even better reasons why no USA manufacture have made them since 1975. There is not even a Patent for them anymore Edison gave up. There is only 1 person here who you can trust, Mike the moderator has them. They appear to be a real PIA to maintain.

Hi all,

I was just curious if anyone had experience with the Iron Edison USA series batteries that are made in the US? ironedison.com/iron-edison-usa-series-nickel-iron-nife-battery They're supposedly a lot better than the Chinese-made ones, and are supposed to have very long lives, even with occasional deep discharges: ironedison.com/images/products/Iron%20Edison/USA/Accelerated%20Cycle%20Life%20Testing.pdf

As I've been doing research on the technology, I've seen a lot of "he said-she said" type of stuff from folks who have a lot of opinions, but not a lot of experience with the batteries themselves, which doesn't help out at all. I don't want to start an empassioned war or anything like that. I just want to know, from folks who have been using the batteries, what their experiences have been?
