Since i had five panels, i bought five batteries. But after
using the system here once or twice I realized i needed more load capacity. This
system pictured is rated at 32 amp hours @ 20 hours. Absorbed glass matt lead
acid batteries are true sealed bateries. they have sealed vents, no adding water
and they are leak proof. Notice load disconnect switch next to battery. This
isolates the regulator from the battery. The solar panel also has a load
disconnect going into the regulator. Notice the pillar with "1st' on it.
This switch is turned on first. Then the switch for the solar panel is activated
(which is marked "2nd"). A safety feature.The cart is on level surface
and inclines should be avoided. The wheels have locks on them but inclines
require chocks.
