  • Are these designed for the 7ah size?

    • Too big for 7Ah battery.

      • I have access to a few random sizes - is there one that these are specifically made to suit?

        • Bottom right of each page you should see "Dimensions" LxWxH etc. These would fit a regular and large size car battery just as an example (depending). Much too big for a 7ah.

      Cool, just when a lot of people are moving to lithium rather than these AGM.

        Price is comparative. Lithium costs much much more than these Kmart AGM batteries.
        For someone on a budget or just starting out or only used occasionally, absolutely nothing wrong with these AGM batteries and generic boxes.
        I haven't upgraded to lithium yet, in my camping/touring set up, mainly due to price.

      • a lot of people are moving to lithium

        Lithium has only one advantage over AGM - weight. Lithium also has a big disadvantage, lithium rechargeables lose capacity whether you use them or have them sitting idle, with the commonest lithium battery type losing 50% capacity within 3-5 years from the date of manufacture.

        Maintenance-free AGM batteries, when kept idle, last pretty much forever as long as you charge them periodically.

  • Are they safe to take on a plane?

    • Boxes (empty) - yes.

      Lithium batteries of any serious size are considered hazardous cargo, road or ship transport only. Airlines only "look the other way" for laptop computers (with lithium batteries), because there would be a huge backlash if they banned them.

      Lithium batteries, if they overheat and catch fire, cannot easily be extinguished with common fire-fighting equipment, and the smoke is toxic. And you'll always find some idiot who thinks it's fine to bring several batteries, loose in a box, so they can rattle around and short out. That's why airlines ban them.

      Lithium batteries have caused a number of fatal aircraft crashes, here are two of them:

      You might think that lithium batteries in laptops and phones are safe, but it's only four years since the Samsung Note 7 proved that wrong:
