  1. I have also heard of these and was wondering how effective they were for the price. If I remember correctly the cost was around R2500 for a 300watt one that can connect to grid and "feed in" during the day. Who knows more about these or has a better priced supplier?
  2. So I went to visit the guy at ecorecon and he tells a very interesting story. He does actually chemically clean, renew and recon the batteries to be as good as new. Complete clean of all lead plates inside battery. Using patented solvents. Complete replacement of electrolyte with new, being liquid or gel. Fully tested over 7 days with charge discharge monitoring to see performance of the battery and warranty of 18 months given. He has many happy customers over the last few years that are happily using their recon batteries for all sorts of uses, from car, deep cycle to solar. And just to show prices the 170Ah Northstar solar batteries are going for around R1500, plus you can get a discount if you bring in old batteries but only compulsory for "car" batteries.
  3. Just wondering if anyone has made use of these batteries and what they are like. Sounds like a good price, but the batteries are "reconditioned". What does that mean exactly? http://www.ecorecon.co.za/wmenu.php
  4. How is the setup going? Any pics yet? I am super new at this solar inverter battery thing and have a few odds that I am throwing together to get backup power going. Takes a crazy amount of research and work at home to get a system up and running hey.
