Hello,
SELF is considering new battery options for our off-grid projects (primarily
health centers in Africa at this time). For the purpose of this post, assume an
average 48V 500Ah battery bank. We prefer sealed batteries because
maintenance/watering is not always available.
Does anyone have any data or experience for with the following batteries? (To
date we have been using the Deka MKs). Any real-world data you have on cycle
life vs. depth of discharge would be great.
1. Universal Power Group (UPG) AGMs (i.e. UB 8D)
2. Power Battery PSG/AG product line (i.e. PSG-12255FT)
3. Lifeline (i.e. 8D or L16)4. Surrette AGMs
I am welcome to other suggestions as well.
Thanks in advance,
Tommy Jacoby
