    Hello and Welcome to TASA.

    @ Carping.Those batteries were made from Glass..Yes glass,and Telkom used to have them in the old exchanges as well.Most ended up as planters.

    Hmmm Welcome to TASA .. I like the idea of using alternative containers as fish/plant tanks ... esp for out-side tanks

    I can picture it - 10 of those suckers interconnected as a mini tank wall.
