[time-nuts] Lead acid battery noise levels - super caps

[Robert Atkinson]

Interesting idea. 
Capacity equates to about 115mAH (.310WH / 2.7V) and thats to zero output, so not an endurance option.

Its just over 10 years since I've used lead acid batteries as the lo 
noise power option for a low phase noise reference source use in the 
development of a jitter measurement instrument , we used discrete regs 
rather than  '317s etc, it worked fine but I can't pass on the details. 
I still have the reference without the batteries which went for 
recycling long ago, the possible new twist I've not seen noise data on 
is not batteries but Ultracapacitors intended for regenerative breaking:

It's nice to try something new and being new might be a way to sidestep 
environmental concerns.
