I dunno,  but I have a bunch of 'em here!  In fact,  when one of the two 6v 
units in my UPS went bad on me,  I put one of those in there and it's been 
fine ever since...
I got these from a bunch that were "recycled" by a commercial outfit that 
deals with emergency lighting and alarm systems and such where they cycle 
that stuff out every couple of years without waiting for any trouble to come 
along. I figure that they're good for standby use here,  particularly since I 
don't drain 'em down all that much.
