STORAGE BATTERIES

 

Lithium-ion batteries are a newer form of battery storage technology that are beginning to rapidly displace lead-acid batteries for solar storage in grid-connect scenarios.
This is mainly due to the fact that lithium-ion batteries can be discharged deeper and have a longer lifetime than lead-acid batteries. They will give you around 4,000 - 6,000 cycles at 80% discharge - so they will have a lifespan of 13-18 years.

Trojan Battery offer industry leading deep cycle wet batteries. With over 80 years of experience under their belt they deliver the worlds most reliable and long lasting deep cycle batteries for use in the renewable energy market. The batteries come in 6 volt, 8 volt and 12 volt sizes and range in power from 85a/h to 450a/h. Trojan battery's durability, longevity and proven technology means you can depend on the batteries for consistent performance in any application.

 

 

Raylite M-Solar cells produce more than 2 million batteries annually to power not only solar applications but a whole host of applications ranging from automotive to telecommunications. Battery power ranges from 530a/h up to 1800a/h.

Positive Plate: The tubular construction incorporates low antimony lead alloy spines in complete contact with the active material, which is retained by an outer gauntlet. This enables the electrolyte to penetrate freely, ensuring a high power output per unit volume.

Negative Plate: The negative plate is composed of a highly porous paste on a lead alloy grid. This complements the positive plate construction, providing a balanced performance and superior life.
