  Oh. In that case yes, we do have experience with these batteries!

  First, the only reason I've chosen these cells in the past is because of 
access and logistical limitations at particular sites. The disadvantage to 
using 2 volt cells is the number of cable connections you have and the 
higher cost for all those cans when compared to 12 volt, 6 cell models and 
12 cell 24 volt whoppers.

  The obvious problem with the big ones is the weight and top-heavyness when 
moving or installing. (When these things start to fall over - Yikes!)

  I had a 2 volt battery go bad after about 2 months at one site, but that's 
been the only problem I've ever had with IBE. They're good batteries.

    Keith,

    My book jumps from 24 to 36; there's no anything with a 33 prefix. Is 
this

  something new? These numbers refer to battery voltage, so I don't see 
where
  33 comes in here.

      I can't find any mention of them in their catalogue. The only one that
    comes even close is the 12-160N-19 at 1440 hrs at the 8 hour rate.

        Keith,

        I hate to admit this as someone who sells IBE, what is a "P-1600"?

        While we are on batteries....

        Have any of you folks used the IBE P-1600?

        We have an off grid system tentatively sized at 7.7KW with 6-2500
      Outback's
        and an owner supplied 15KW Coleman genny.

        Feedback welcomed..

        Thanks for the replies,

        It looks like the general consensus is that golf cart batteries are
  the
        best value for small systems, but my main question remains 
unanswered:
    How
        do we fairly compare the big Industrial cells?


        Thanks again,
