Batteries
Leisure/Deep Cycle batteries are specifically designed
for good performance in terms of charge/discharge
cycles. Batteries are an important part of the
renewable energy battery charging system and should
be sized according to the 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.
x
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.
x
We strongly recommend that one of the charge
regulators available from Marlec is fitted to prevent
batteries becoming overcharged in strong winds and
during low energy consumption periods. A regulator is
essential where gel and sealed batteries are used.
x
Batteries may be linked as shown in the Fig 13. It is
essential to observe polarity as follows:
Red is + Positive Black is - Negative
Batteries in parallel to increase
ampere hours (Fig.13).
Note : Batteries must not be joined
in series as this will increase the

Cable Specification
The cable used for connection of the Wind charger to
the batteries should be in accordance with Fig 11. The
use of a smaller cable than recommended will reduce
the performance of the charging system.
Cable and connectors are available from your dealer or
the manufacturer.
