I should have asked before purchasing, but oh well. I bought an IronWorks LiFePO4 12.8V- 44.7 Amp Hours w/BMS battery on Ebay. Upon arrival my multimeter showed 12.8V but that's all I've done so far. My research found the battery was introduced in 2011 by a company called Micro Power for use in medical equipment. Micro Power was bought out by Electro Chem but I don't know the year.
The battery has probably lost it's full capacity but that's OK for my application. Even at 80% it should still last longer than the AGM battery I need to replace plus there is considerably less weight.
Also, there is a communication port on the battery but I don't know the purpose.
