[RE-wrenches] steel cased industrial batteries

[William Miller]

Tump:



The M series are a steel jacketed, flooded battery, which is what I thought
we were discussing.



Deka also makes the Unigy line of AGM batteries, to which I believe you are
referring.  They have also worked well for us, making Deka/MK a one-stop
shop for us.  For you trying these Unigy batteries for the first time, be
aware of the differences between interlocking and non-interlocking
racking.  One can be placed against a wall and one you cannot.



And I assume you meant ‘seismic.’

I  have them in my own home and use them when I spec AGM batteries. The
steel enclosures, gives you a vertical battery bank, making for a smaller
foot print. Once you get the hang of installing the individual cells, they
work well, look great. Also semitic rating can be obtained by using the
interloc cases.

Colleagues:

I have abandoned IBE and Hawker for steel jacketed batteries.  Instead I am
very pleased with Deka/MK M-series steel jacketed batteries.  They require
minimal maintenance and hold up well over time.

Jay,

HUPs. They're made by Enersys. I have yet to see a failed cell.

I'm backing away from IBE (which I have in my own home), as just this week
one longtime client has a second failed cell (out of 24) on a
seven-year-old set. He takes meticulous care of them too. The first one
several years ago we replaced. This time we bypassed it and are running a
46V system as we look at lithium ion.

HI All,

I’ve wondering if there are recommendations for steel cased flooded
industrial batteries.

Would be looking for 12v packs, 1500-2000 amp hr.



There are many brands out there, HUP, IBE, Enersys, others?



Its been a while since I’ve had to even look at them and I figured
someone out there has some current info, recommendations, best price
etc.



thanks

jay
