<br>
I see that the SBS batteries are rated to 1200 cycles to 80% DOD,
but I can't find the warranty on their website. Do you have a link
to that?<br>

<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>
<div>Additionally they offer hydrogen gas alarms for battery
rooms. </div>

</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>

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>
