[RE-wrenches] Battery Experience

[Dana]

98% of our clients have HUP batteries the balance have an assortment of AGM.
We have taken 2 sets in for recycling: one was a  house fire nothing to do
with solar and one was a client who was convinced he knew more than me. Hah!


 

I have a set in my office 7 years now, that was in service for 5 years
before it was upgraded [they had twins - opps].

 

I have HUP sets that are on 17+ years now and still doing fine. I actually
got a call from an old client in WA about how happy she was with the HUP set
[17+ years old] still. 

 

HUP batteries are the best wet lead acid I have used in my solar experience
since 1988.

We switched to HUP after some disappointments with other brands.  I have
probably 100 tons (literally) of HUPs in the field with 100% satisfaction.
I did like the Surrette containment system, but I too was bummed with the
warranty.   

Just for fun, here's how we move these beasts:Battery
Transporter
We can roll them right in over a tile or wood  floor.  This would work for
other brands as well.
