Batteries

Leisure/Deep Cycle batteries are specifically
designed for good performance in terms of
charge/discharge cycles. Batteries are an
important part of the renewable energy battery
charging system and should be sized according to
the load requirements and provide at least 3 days
reserve capacity. This will reduce cycling,
prolong the life of the battery and ensure system
reliability during periods of low wind.
Permanent connections should always be made
to the battery terminals. Never use crocodile clips
or similar devices. Battery terminals should be
well greased with petroleum jelly or similar.
We strongly recommend that one of the charge
regulators available from Marlec is fitted to
prevent batteries becoming overcharged in strong
winds and during low energy consumption
periods. A regulator is essential where gel and
sealed batteries are used.
Batteries may be linked as shown in the Fig 13.
It is essential to observe polarity as follows:
Red is + Positive
The cable used for connection of the Wind
charger to the batteries should be in accordance
with Fig 11. The use of a smaller cable than rec-
ommended will reduce the performance of the
charging
system.
Cable and connectors are available from your
dealer or the manufacturer.
