Battery selection and management
This section refers exclusively to rechargeable, lead-acid batteries, for example car, tractor, truck, marine or specialist deep-cycle
batteries.
The battery you select will depend on whether your installation is a battery-only or a solar installation. For both types of installation, the
position of the energizer selector switches will determine the size of battery and solar panel required. Refer to
Operation on page 2 for an
explanation of the function of the selector switches.
Battery selection for a battery-only installation
As a guide, the amp hour (Ah) rating of the 12 V lead-acid battery required for each model is shown below. This table is based on a 21
day operating period between battery charging. Although operating time can exceed 21 days, this is likely to cause battery damage and
will necessitate frequent replacement of the battery. For best system reliability and long term battery life, the preferred battery and
charging regime is to use a deep-cycle, lead-acid battery and to recharge it when it has discharged to Medium charge level. For more
information on testing battery charge level, see Battery test setting on page 4.

Battery selection for a solar installation
The battery and solar panel must be selected carefully to suit the energizer's electrical current consumption. This will depend on the
position of the energizer selector switches, the energizer model being used and the amount of sunshine at the location of the installation.
As a guide, the minimum amp hour (Ah) rating of the 12 V lead-acid battery required for each model is shown below. This table is based
on average usage over seven days with no sunlight. It takes into account the variety of solar panel and regulator types that could be used
in a solar installation. For more detailed information, refer to the Speedrite website
