Leisure/Deep Cycle batteries are specifically designed for good
performance in terms of charge/discharge cycles. Batteries are the most
important part of your battery charging system and should be sized
according to your load requirements and provide at least 3 days reserve
capacity. This will reduce cycling, prolong the life of the battery and
ensure system reliability during periods of low wind
Permanent connections should always be made to the battery terminals.
Never use crocodile clips or similar devices. Battery terminals should be
well greased with petroleum jelly or similar.
We strongly recommend that one of the voltage regulators available from
Marlec is fitted to prevent batteries becoming overcharged in strong winds
and is essential with gel/sealed batteries.
Batteries may be linked as follows:
•
In parallel to increase amp hours (Fig.6).
•
In series to increase voltage (Fig.7).
