General information

12V battery block, lead-acid gel, capacity C20 approximately 200-220Ah.

Suitable for radio stations, solar applications and backup for server room.

VRLA Gel or AGM are non-spilling (IATA SP A67), therefore they can be transported by aircraft.
For server room backup with small autonomy, two EELESOLBA200 are to be connected in series to form a 24V battery.

Alternatively, some manufacturers have 6V-batteries, which may be lighter to handle, but necessitate additional cables.

It is strongly recommended, to always replace all batteries in a battery bank. Combining batteries of different age, capacity or manufacturer will always result in less than optimal performance.

If more capacity than 200Ah is needed, the use of 2V-cells should be considered.

Connecting batteries in parallel is not optimal, imbalances in charge and discharge currents are almost unavoidable. Instead, consider use of EELESOLBA600 (600Ah), EELESOLBA1200 (1200Ah). If needed, higher capacity cells can be also obtained.
Avoid long-time storage. If you need to store the batteries, charge them fully first, re-charge every 2-3 months. Keep storage temperature -if possible- between 20 and 25 degrees.

Local purchase is discouraged, as huge quality differences exist. Also, if batteries were stored for too long and/or under inappropriate conditions (high temperatures, not recharged for long duration, etc.), the batteries will have a very short life expectancy. You should make sure the supplier can guarantee proper storage.
