I have 16 of the Northstar 100FT Silver that have been in service for about 10 years at 2 different sites, one with HVAC, the other without. They still work like new. I had to ship them freight on a pallet because I bought them from a telecom surplus dealer, they were new but past the 12 month sell-by date. Freight on batteries is a pain.
I also have a couple sites with Concorde Lifeline 8D batteries that are about that same age, but those are definitely NOT front terminal telecom batteries.

We found a Northstar dealer who didn't normally sell their telco gear and they add our orders when they are bringing in a truck.

Northstar Blue keeps coming up, but they seem to be super expensive. What is everyone using and where are you getting them?
