Re: [RE-wrenches] Hawker versusu MK

We use a high lift jack to lift the case up onto a carrier we've made. Roll them right into the room. We then use the high lift to push them exactly into place, with a wood brace against the wall. I'm still a HUP fan fro the cycle life (2100 cycle to 80% DOD) but if the 1500 cycle batteries are

Re: [RE-wrenches] Hawker versusu MK

Hi Dick, Best trick I ever learned for these metal cased is to build a wheeled base with steel wheels. Yea, still have to get them onto the base, but then its easy. Also when I use metal cased batteries I like to have them with removable series interconnects not the welded type. Interesti

Re: [RE-wrenches] Question re Midnite surge arrestors

Ryan, I may have found the answer to my original post, but it raises more questions. I wrote that these were MV units (MNSPD300), but I checked with my lead tech and learned that in both cases he used LV units (MNSPD115). Could this be the reason? He

[RE-wrenches] Question re Midnite surge arrestors

Wrenches, Very seldom do inverters in off grid systems ever go to sleep anymore, given the increase in phantom electronic loads and greater customer expectations. Coupled with lower module prices, we usually size larger arrays and inverters remain on continuously. However

Re: [RE-wrenches] Hawker versusu MK

I've got two Hawker installs out here, a 48 Volt and a 24 Volt system. Both are going on 6 years or so. Clients are happy, I'm happy. It does resemble work to move and place them. We typically use "Egyptian" techniques when heavy equipment isn't available or appropriate. Inclined plane, big pry bar

Re: [RE-wrenches] Hawker versusu MK

William.we have used a set of industrial flooded lead acid batteries made by a company called Storage Battery Systems (www.sbs*battery*.com)The batteries are 2V batteries with 3200Ah capacityThey come with a variety of warranty options. Our client decided on the 20 year option (5 years

Here's a third for 2V Surrette's... However you should discuss details with this list or someone at Surrette regarding your application. For an example, Solar Power source? C/rate? Are you replacing a set of golf cart batts or batteries with similar charging needs as these large cells? The

I agree with Daryl and Tump And would add Trojan IND as an option to the Rolls and made in SoCal Also most of the industrial battery folks make 2v cells. Jay Peltz power. On Aug 13, 2013, at 4:55 AM, penobscotso...@midmaine.com wrote: > I second Tump's experience! > > Daryl DeJoy > NABCE

I install large battery banks ALL the time. We DO NOT use any battery that is incased in a metal enclosure. REAL pain to move, cells DO go bad & when they do its a real pain to bring the engine hoist to remove them. Hard to keep the cases from leaking & rusting. We DO use the Surrette 2 volt cel

[RE-wrenches] Hawker versusu MK

Friends: We are shopping for industrial, flooded, lead acid batteries. We are considering 12 volt packages in the 1800 AH range. Under consideration are: Hawker 12-25W-23S at 1705 AH or MK 106M1033STB at 1896 AH. Have any of you had experience with either, or recommend another option? As
