Battery selection
As a guide, the recommended battery size in amp hour (Ah) required for each energiser
model is shown below. This table is based on a 7 day operating period between battery
charging. Although operating time can exceed 7 days, this is likely to cause battery damage
and will necessitate frequent replacement of the battery.
For best system reliability and long term battery life, the preferred battery and charging
regime is to use a deep-cycle, lead-acid battery and to recharge it when it is half discharged.
For more information see "Battery Test setting" on page 57.
