Colleagues: I have abandoned IBE and Hawker for steel jacketed batteries. Instead I am very pleased with Deka/MK M-series steel jacketed batteries. They require minimal maintenance and hold up well over time.

They're made by Enersys. I have yet to see a failed cell. I'm backing away from IBE (which I have in my own home), as just this week one longtime client has a second failed cell (out of 24) on a seven-year-old set. He takes meticulous care of them too. The first one several years ago we replaced. This time we bypassed it and are running a 46V system as we look at lithium ion.

There are many brands out there, HUP, IBE, Enersys, others? Its been a while since I’ve had to even look at them and I figured someone out there has some current info, recommendations, best price etc. thanks jay peltz power -- *Allan Sindelar* [email protected] NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional New Mexico EE98J Journeyman Electrician Founder (Retired), Positive Energy, Inc. *505 780-2738 cell*
