New Battery Pack

[Riverlander]

This could be a cheap battery pack. The weight may be a problem. Also so other inverters listed.

Guess you'd have to ring them up for more info?
Are they new?
Friend at Morgan has similar & you need to watch the water/acid level VERY regularly.
Be good on a houseboat but I'd need to reconstruct the cabinet so I could 'water' them.

The description doesn't actually make sense. The part number break down says they are 2v lead acid 420Ah cells, so where does the 490Ah come from?
If they were as new you could build a 420Ah 48v battery, 840Ah 24v battery or 1680Ah 12v battery. When you look at the useable capacity the headline numbers are misleading, even at 12v they don't offer much more capacity than Vic has in his Avida now and certainly could not run things like the air con or hot water and other things that draw high current for nearly as long. The 24v pack we installed in the off grid house at Rocky Point was 1200Ah @ 24v all useable, 3 times the capacity of that battery pack.
Basically, a technology from last century that simply no longer makes the grade compared to what is on the market now.
