Hi Kirpal;
I see that the SBS batteries are rated to 1200 cycles to 80% DOD, but I
can't find the warranty on their website. Do you have a link to that?

Mac...good morning....that is a big battery bank!....We have used the
SBS Batteries for large battery banks....They offer multiple warranty
options including upto 20 years. They are tubular plates with clear
outer cases which make the electrolyte levels really easy to monitor
and fill....They come with insulated cell interconnects with testing
ports, they offer seismic racking custom designed to fit your battery
bank, as well as spill containment trays and acid neutralizer kits for
the spill containment trays. We have been very happy with their
performance. They offer a 2V FLA cell at 4000Ah @ the 20 hr rate.
They are a high quality product made in the USA and worth looking at.
Here is the link to their website.
http://www.sbsbattery.com/products-services/by-product/batteries/batteries-flooded-wet-cell-batteries/flooded-wet-cell-batteries-stt-series-flooded-2v-cell.html
Additionally they offer hydrogen gas alarms for battery rooms.
I am curious - is this a solar integrated system, if so, what size
array would be charging the batteries?
Good luck!

Consider the HUP Solar One battery, the 125-33. It has 2490 AH at
the 20 hr rate. The warranty is for 2100 cycles to 80% DOD.
Also most of the jumpers are included (bus bars within each 12 v
group)
We've had nothing but happy customers since we started using the HUPs.

Mac, for this type of large system we typically use Surrette/Rolls
2YS31.They are 2430 ah. When we get into battery banks this
large we
typically only run two cells deep (front to back) for ease of
maintenance.
I hope your customer has some free time on their hands for
maintenance.
Remember, Surrette deep cycle batteries demand a higher than
most charge
rate or you will find the life of the cell will be
significantly shorter
than with proper charging. I'm sure your local battery
distributor or
Jamie Surrette can send you the tech stuff on these batteries.
Any way it
goes, this is a very big battery bank. Good luck!

Good point Jason. To clarify this is a 48V system.
Thanks

Not that I have an answer for you, but I'm curious,
too. You need to

Hi wrenches,
I am consulting on a job that requires an 8000 Ahr
battery bank. This
is
quite a bit beyond my normal battery bank realm.
What would you
recommend
for this?
Thanks in advance
