What battery to start with

[Dope]

Hi everyone

 

I need some advice on what batteries I need to get, when keeping my budget in mind.

 

I will be getting an Axpert 3kVA inverter and would like to start off with just two 12V batteries in series.

 

My current modified sinewave inverter has a 12V 105Ah deep cycle battery, but I plan to not use this battery again, as I know it is not recommended to mix old and new batteries.

 

What brand/type of battery would you guys recommend for around R4000 for two batteries, or should I be looking at spending a bit more?

 

Regards

Hi Dope.

 

I would recommend NARADA REX-C 12volt 200a/h. They will be more pricey than you are willing to spend but they have good specifications.
