[RE-wrenches] Huge battery bank recommendation

Mac:

 

One option is steel tray batteries.  Manufacturers include MK/Deka and
Hawker.  We are accepting delivery of 6 of the 1800 a/h Hawkers Friday.
They are 2600 pounds each.   We move them with a special narrow pallet jack.
Here’s some photos:

The bank shown is VRLA and were a poor choice for the application.  They
failed in 8 years.  They will be replaced by FLA batteries with a watering
system.  We will leave the watering system turned off so we can inspect each
cell for consumption before watering.

 

Good luck,

 

William

Hi wrenches,

 

I am consulting on a job that requires an 8000 Ahr battery bank.  This is
quite a bit beyond my normal battery bank realm.  What would you recommend
for this?

 

Thanks in advance
