You could look for AGM deep cycle batteries at those local stores. I
couldn't tell you which brands are better, but I think it's my
understanding that AGM will last 2-3x longer than normal.
I know this horse is about as abused as a woman that doesnt listen
well, but Im looking for a brand/model number of battery that would be
god for sites, primarily in the winter but some heat in the summer
that we can replace the APC external packs with.
Id like to source them locally like NAPA, Autozone, etc rather than
order them if possible.
What exactly am I looking for in a battery. Most likely the sites that
these would go to are sites we would put a generator on, so its not
likely they would be depleted, but is a rare possibility. Mainly we
are looking to get a longer window to get a generator to the site and
a longer run if the generator fails or runs out of fuel.
When running a battery bank is it recomended to buy all the batteries
at the same time and replace them at the same time?
