Is that not 65Ah? -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Robert Andrews Sent: Monday, October 03, 2016 12:20 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Solar costs dropping
Sorry now $87... https://www.walmart.com/ip/EverStart-Group-Size-29DC-Marine-Battery/20531543 We have gone to 6V cart batteries for our serious off grid stuff with better cycling results, but these are what we use for on-grid reserve. The 6V's we buy are 135 AH and we get fewer cells going bad over 2-3 years... When you have 100 cells at a site, you are going to have failures... (1.2V cells)... Found it was cheaper replacing 3 cell batteries than 6 cell batteries...
