Batteries are the heart of any off-grid system. Here at Solar Heats Water we only deal with high quality batteries that are reliable, and give the highest number of charge/discharge cycles possible for any given solution.
Batteries used in Off-Grid situations are:
- Flooded Lead Acid (FLA)
- Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)
- Gel Cell
These are all variations of lead-acid type batteries with different characteristics optimized for different situations. Lithium-ion technology is not at a point where it is readily used off-grid... how many Li-ion cell phone or laptop batteries have you seen that still have full capacity after many years? None.
Battery Solutions are typically specific to the loads they supply, system voltages of 12, 24, and 48VDC are most common.
