<div dir="ltr">Mac...good morning....that is a big battery bank!....We have used the SBS Batteries for large battery banks....They offer multiple warranty options including upto 20 years. They are tubular plates with clear outer cases which make the electrolyte levels really easy to monitor and fill....They come with insulated cell interconnects with testing ports, they offer seismic racking custom designed to fit your battery bank, as well as spill containment trays and acid neutralizer kits for the spill containment trays. We have been very happy with their performance. They offer a 2V FLA cell at 4000Ah @ the 20 hr rate. They are a high quality product made in the USA and worth looking at. <div>
Here is the link to their website. </div><div><a href="http://www.sbsbattery.com/products-services/by-product/batteries/batteries-flooded-wet-cell-batteries/flooded-wet-cell-batteries-stt-series-flooded-2v-cell.html">http://www.sbsbattery.com/products-services/by-product/batteries/batteries-flooded-wet-cell-batteries/flooded-wet-cell-batteries-stt-series-flooded-2v-cell.html</a> <br>
</div><div>Additionally they offer hydrogen gas alarms for battery rooms. </div><div><br></div><div>I am curious - is this a solar integrated system, if so, what size array would be charging the batteries? </div><div>Good luck!</div>

Consider the HUP Solar One battery, the 125-33. It has 2490 AH at the 20 hr rate. The warranty is for 2100 cycles to 80% DOD. Also most of the jumpers are included (bus bars within each 12 v group)<br>
We've had nothing but happy customers since we started using the HUPs.<br>

Mac, for this type of large system we typically use Surrette/Rolls<br>
2YS31.They are 2430 ah. When we get into battery banks this large we<br>
typically only run two cells deep (front to back) for ease of maintenance.<br>
I hope your customer has some free time on their hands for maintenance.<br>
Remember, Surrette deep cycle batteries demand a higher than most charge<br>
rate or you will find the life of the cell will be significantly shorter<br>
than with proper charging. I'm sure your local battery distributor or<br>
Jamie Surrette can send you the tech stuff on these batteries. Any way it<br>
goes, this is a very big battery bank. Good luck!<br>

Good point Jason. To clarify this is a 48V system.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Not that I have an answer for you, but I'm curious, too. You need to<br>
specify voltage to get a good answer.<br>

Hi wrenches,<br>
<br>
I am consulting on a job that requires an 8000 Ahr battery bank. This<br>
is<br>
quite a bit beyond my normal battery bank realm. What would you<br>
recommend<br>
for this?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
