Deep-Cycle Batteries


HUP Solar One Deep Cycle Flooded Lead-Acid Batteries

Except in the case of grid-tie systems, batteries are probably the most important component you will buy.  They are expensive, and subject to an early death if not properly charged and maintained.  It is sound advice to always buy the best batteries you can afford.  For those reasons I'm pleased to offer the HUP SolarOne.  It is probably the best deep cycle battery in the industry, wiSolar One storage Battery lead acid high efficiency 10 year warranty free shippingth the best warranty: 7 YEARS free replacement + 3 YEARS pro-rated = 10 YEARS.  Properly cared for, Solar One batteries are engineered for a 10 to 20 year service life. Fortunately, prices are very competitive with lesser batteries and shipping is free* in 48 states.  Solar One batteries are built from large, 2-volt cells that are housed in a heavy-duty steel container.  The cells can be removed individually to make the battery easier to manage.  Six cells fit in one steel enclosure to make a 12 volt battery.  Multiple 12 volt batteries can easily be strung together for 24 volt and 48 volt systems.  Solar One batteries are available in nine sizes, from 845 A/hrs to 1990 A/hrs capacity. Cell interconnects are included, so there is no need to buy bulky and expensive interconnect cables.  The enclosure comes with a hinged steel lid (not shown), and the overall package is very tidy.  These are extremely heavy-duty, deep-cycle batteries with the industry's thickest positive plate.  This is the battery that I use in my own off-grid system and have never regreted that choice.  Flooded lead-acid battery technology still offers the longest service life.  This is your best choice for home power energy storage!  Click HERE for the full brochure.  Click the battery image for even more information on SolarOne.  Warranty HERE.

Voodoo Solar now includes a free battery hydrometer with every major battery purchase.  Click HERE for more details!

CONCORDE AGM

(absorbed glass mat) batteries require no periodic watering, won't freeze, low self-discharge rate, and are especially desirable in situations where they will be unattended over extended periods, like a vacation cabin.  AGM batteries will not spill electrolyte, and there are virtually no fumes under normal conditions.  This is the battery of choice for Marine, RV, and any mobile application, or where batteries must be in an unvented space.

BATTERY WATERING SYSTEMS

Turn the most tedious battery maintenance chore into a breeze!  Officially called "single point watering", it uses a simpleflow-rite millennium battery watering system hand pump to add distilled water to the exact factory specified level every time.  No funnels, flashlights or messes, and you never have to open the cell cap, so there is no hazardous electrolyte exposure and no chance to contaminate your battery cell with impurities. Click HERE to see full details, including an installation video.  Flow-Rite battery watering systems are available for most brands of batteries.  We use a Flow-Rite Millennium SPW system on our Hup Solar One batteries here at Voodoo Solar!  Made in USA.
FLOW-RITE BATTERY HYDROMETER for the Millennium SPW system is just $20.

BATTERY CHARGERS

Are sometimes required for small systems or special applications such as marine or RV.  Voodoo Solar sells the trusted Iota brand chargers, and the newer Xantrex Trucharge models which charge better on small generators.  Click the image to go to the battery charger information page.  Xantrex Trucharge battery charger





BATTERY DESULFATOR

  Consider adding a battery desulfator to your system to prolong the life of your battery investmentBattery Life Saver desulphator for just $98.  Small, easy to use device sends high-frequency pulses to your batteries to remove sulfate build-up on the plates... and it really works!  I recommend a battery desulfator for any new battery installation.  Get the MOST from your battery investment!  Battery Life Saver is the leading brand... click the image for more information.  


In most cases, a battery bank should be contained in a secure enclosure, vented to the outside to exhaust noxious and flammable gasses.  I can provide you with prebuilt battery enclosures to fit many battery types.


BATTERY VENT FANS

Are activated when the battery reaZephyr power vent fan for batteriesches a voltage that causes it to start bubbling, or gassing.  The fan exhausts the noxious gases through a pipe, to the outdoors.  Fan can be controlled with a voltage-based controller (below), or by some charge controls and inverters.  Most charge controllers will require the use of an external relay ($25) to switch the fan on and off.  12 & 24 volt Power Vent Fans use 2" plastic conduit for ducting, 48 volt uses 2" intake and 3" for exhaust.

24 volt Zephyr power vent fan  ..... $80
48 volt Zephyr power vent fan  ..... $105
Vent fan controller 12/24 volt  ..... $90

E-Z RED battery hydrometer

E-Z RED BATTERY HYDROMETER

 Is an essential tool for battery maintenance and calibration of charge controllers and TriMetric Meters.  Specifically designed for accuracy and ease-of-use, the E-Z RED is temperature-compensated, so there is no need for thermometers and confusing temperature charts.  Features easy to see numbers and a clearly visible pointer.  Nearly unbreakable, and made in the USA.  The E-Z RED is included FREE with any major battery purchase from Voodoo Solar, or just $15.00 (with free US shipping) as a separate item.  Click the image for more information.








BATTERY CABLES

Needed to connect your batteries together to provide the proper voltage for your system.  They are also used to connect inverters to batteries.  These are heavy duty, flexible welding cable and have heavy connection lugs with a hole on each end.  Contact me for help in choosing the right size for your needs.
