alkaline and maintenance free. Batteries are sealed
or vented.
Starting Batteries
Starting batteries are designed for high cranking
power but not deep cycling. Do not use them with your
inverter. They do not affect the inverter, but they will
simply not last long in a deep cycle application. They
use lot of thin plates to maximize the surface area of
the battery. This allows very high starting current but
less run time when the battery is cycled.
Deep Cycle Batteries
Deep cycle batteries are best suited for use with the
inverter. They are designed to have the majority of
their capacity used before recharge. Available in
many sizes and types, be sure to use at least a 80AH
battery.
