The site I maintain isn't solar powered but I did add battery backup two
years ago and it's been working very well. Batteries are Interstate SRM29's
charged by a Samlex SEC-2415 auto charger. The loads are powered thru a
Samlex ST1500-124 pure sine wave inverter with a built in transfer switch. I
I'm using a pair of Deka GC-15 in series.
I passed on the Sams, Interstate, Autozone,
TSC, etc. batteries when I found many were
manufactured out of country. There are
definitely different levels of performance
in deep-cycle batteries. Note the difference

I have a commercial UHF repeater that has been on solar power for seven

SOC.

We use two 6 Volt Golf Cart batteries in series bought from Sams Wholesale to
power a GE Mastr II repeater and GE Mastr II mobile link radio with the amp
disconnected. The audio amp has been disabled on both radios. The angle on
the solar panels was optimized for the winter months. Our
