    Hi All Is anyone interested in 4 month old Ca/Ca batteries. 2 are brand new (just been replaced by supplier). The last one is still undergoing review and might be replaced by the supplier if faulty. As I have come to realise, these are not ideal for my full time use as I am using them with constant cycling, and my Invertor isn't able to deliver a proper equalising charge (63V). These would make ideal and powerful standby units (have a much lower standby discharge rate than normal lead acid) for a backup system (using an Invertor or large UPS). Ca/Ca batteries don't sulphanate easily, so a equalisation charge on standby is probably only needed every 6+ month…

    Hi Guys, Looking to increase my current PV footprint, so looking for panels that match my existing install. 235W x 9 should do the trick, or less. Thanks

  9. On my small holding I want to power the energizer for my electric fence purely with solar, no inverter needed. Energizer supposedly uses about 27 Watts. Nemtek wanted to sell me 140W panel and 100AH battery at exorbitant prices. Energizer can pull up to 40 watt. Any offers in centurion, midrand area? I think 100Ah is to small to ensure long life, battery should last at least 3 years.
