Part No, FV546133 gives a Nato Stock Number of 6140-99-803-4364, which a simple google search throws up as a military battery, lots of info online if you search either the P/n or the NSN.
So...do they have a civvy use?
I have two, in there boxes, never been used or even had acid in them.
I would like to see them put to use rather than recycled.
I suspect such things are not cheap to buy...I want to take my Dad to the Swanky pub for his birthday, sort of thing.

They'll be 12v 100ah. Generally fitted in pairs to give 24v for FFR (Fitted For Radio) Military vehicles.
Are they these? If so, very robust standard 12v military vehicle battery (fitted to everything from Scorpion to Main Battle Tanks). Wide operating temperature range. However, as they are similar capacity to a standard 12v battery, and they are big and heavy, they are really only of value to someone who owns military vehicles.
Sadly, that's not relevant if they haven't been regularly given a top up charge- even gel batteries become toast without maintenance. It might be worth trying to find somebody with a good battery charger with a desulphation mode, otherwise they're worth what a scrapyard will give you.
