Re: House Batteries Reply #3 – July 05, 2019, 09:01:28 am If two are sufficient, you can go maintenance-free and use AGM's, but a conventional flooded plate battery such as Trojan deep cycle is less expensive. With a flooded battery, you need to put effort into making sure the fill level is maintained, and the terminals are kept free of corrosion. So, the first decision is type - AGM, or flooded cell.When you make that decision, there are a number of suppliers from which you can choose. It generally pays to go with a well-known supplier, but others may have much to say about their experience with certain makes.Ken F in WY 1 Likes

I suggest getting two Trojan T-105s and the "watering kit"; much less expensive, and no need to worry about solar charger and power center compatibility with AGMs. YMMV, as always. 2 Likes

Re: House Batteries Reply #7 – July 05, 2019, 06:07:20 pm I added a battery watering system to my batteries. It only takes a second to hook up the hand pump and set it in a gallon distilled water, couple of squeezes and done. No mess no fuss. Much easier than trying to pull out battery tray and remove battery cell covers and fill with distilled water. Ron

Last post you made from 3 months ago, indicated you wanted to find indoor storage due to concerns of heavy snow loads on the roof before proceeding. So what is the story?Steve K.
