Lead-acid batteries can be categorized by the type of application:
1. Automotive service - Starting/Lighting/Ignition (SLI, a.k.a. cranking), and
2. Deep cycle service.
Deep Cycle Lead Acid Batteries of appropriate capacity are recommended for these
inverters.
Deep cycle Lead Acid Batteries
Deep cycle batteries are designed with thick-plate electrodes to serve as primary power
sources, to have a constant discharge rate, to have the capability to be deeply dis-
charged up to 80 % capacity and to repeatedly accept recharging. They are marketed
for use in recreation vehicles (RV), boats and electric golf carts – so they may be referred
to as RV batteries, marine batteries or golf cart batteries. Use Deep Cycle batteries for
powering these inverters.
Rated capacity in Ampere-hour (Ah)
Battery capacity “C” is specified in Ampere-hours (Ah). An Ampere is the unit of meas-
urement for electrical current and is defined as a Coulomb of charge passing through
