Lead Acid Batteries

Car batteries will not last as long as Deep Cycle batteries. They are made for high current used for a short time when starting an engine. RV/Marine batteries are a little better than car batteries but not as good as golf car batteries. Deep discharges will shorten battery life. For best battery life, use shallow discharges of 20% or less and routinely stay above 50%. Comparing depth of discharge to cycle life of a battery routinely discharged 80%, a battery discharged only 50% would have about double the cycle life and discharged 20% about triple the cycle life.

Sealed, Maintenance-Free

Deep cycle with low self-discharge rates, low maintenance, better efficiency, better low temperature performance, can be mounted in almost any position and no explosive/corrosive fumes when used properly. Use a PWM controller with temperature compensation battery sensor for accurate charging. No equalize charging. Over charging these can ruin them from loss of water.

Golf Cart  6 volt, 220 amp hours

These electric vehicle batteries are a good first battery to learn on. They are mass produced so they have the lowest cost per amp hour. Life is about 4-8 years if not abused. They are 6 volt, so two are connected in series (positive of first battery to negative of second battery) to provide 12 volts and 4 are connected in series for 24 volts; 6 are series connected for 36 volts and 8 are series connected for 48 volts. Each battery is 220 amp hours (AH). Batteries (or battery sets) connected in parallel keep voltage the same but add the amp hours thus increasing storage capacity. Two 12 volt sets connected in parallel (4 batteries) would have 440 AH and three sets would have 660 AH.  10.25” x7” x10.25” high, 66 lbs. You may be able to find these locally for about $60 to $80 each.

L16 HC 6 volt, 350-400 amp hours, by Surrette/Rolls

Larger, heavier and longer life than golf cart batteries. AmpHours listed are for 20 hour rate. The 100 hour rate is about 30% more AmpHours. Warranty is 2 years full; next 5 years pro-rated. Specify WET or DRY.

Industrial Batteries

These high quality batteries can last 10-20 years with proper care. Higher initial cost but may cost less in the long run. Taller cells use less floor space, fewer cells means less caps to open for inspection and watering. Increased liquid reserve means less maintenance. Designed to offer up to a 20 year lifetime, 3000 plus cycles to 50% depth of discharge, 2000+ cycles to 80% depth of discharge. AmpHours listed are for 20 hour rate. The 100 hour rate is about 40% more AmpHours.

Surrette/Rolls batteries have a durable double container construction (except  2 volt Single cell) for a cleaner battery. Individual cells can be unbolted allowing for a lighter handling of battery. Each cell is assembled in its owner inner container made of high temperature retardant, durable polypropylene with the inner cover heat bonded to the container, (thus acid leakage is eliminated). The outer container is high density tough polyethylene with a removable lid. Even if the outer container were to break the battery would still be operable without the harmful affects of sulfuric acid spills. Warranty is 3 years full, 7 years pro-rated. Specify WET or DRY
             Shipping discount for more than 1000 pounds east of the Mississippi or 2000 pounds west of the Mississippi.

Convert 115 volts AC power from the utility grid or from engine generator into low voltage DC power. It is desirable to have backup way of charging when batteries are low and little power is coming from your solar modules or wind generator. Using a high amperage charger will minimize engine generator run time, saving fuel and maintenance. Standard battery chargers and modified square wave inverter/battery chargers will have reduced output when powered from low cost engine generators. This is due to generator voltage, wave shape and watts available at 115 volts. Some generators only have half there wattage available at each 115 volt outlet. Sinewave inverter/chargers will work better with generators.

IOTA DC Charger/Power Supply

This compact, powerful charger uses a high frequency electronic design for superior performance over regular chargers. This is more efficient and will delivers more amps when input voltage drops. The clean low ripple DC output can also power loads without a battery connected. Has DC output terminals, no meter. Input: 96-140 volts AC, 47-63 Hz. 80% efficiency. Add a DC breaker and DC ammeter on output. 2 year factory warranty.
