If you need more energy you can size up, or if you need less energy you can size down. If your old battery provided enough energy, it can be replaced with a similar capacity battery. If replacing an existing battery, use it as a reference point.
The difference between these batteries is the amount of energy they offer.
For example, you can use a T-605, T-105 or T-125 in the same space, as they are the exact same physical size. Within your size restrictions you may have several battery options to choose from. When choosing your battery model, first consider your battery compartment space, as this may limit your options. Step 2: Choose Your Best Battery Model 2-1 To increase both voltage and amp-hour capacity, connect batteries in series/parallel. To increase amp-hour capacity, connect batteries in parallel. To increase voltage, connect batteries in series.
WET GRAVITY CIRCUIT SERIES
To increase both voltage and capacity, connect additional batteries in series and parallel.įour T-105, 6V Batteries rated at 225AH Connected in Series/ParallelĦV + 6V = 12V System Capacity = 225AH + 225AH = 450AH Two T-105, 6V Batteries rated at 225AH Connected in ParallelĦV System Capacity = 225AH + 225AH = 450AH This will not increase the system voltage. To increase capacity, connect batteries in parallel. Two T-105, 6V Batteries rated at 225AH Connected in Series This will not increase the system capacity. Once your voltage requirements are met, and if space allows, you can double the batteries in a parallel connection - thereby doubling your battery capacity. Make sure there is enough space between batteries to allow for minor battery expansion that occurs during use and to allow proper airflow to keep battery temperature down in hot environments.Ĭonnecting batteries in series does not increase the capacity of the batteries it simply increases the overall voltage to meet your system requirements.
The size of your battery compartment, your performance requirements and costs may limit your options. For example, you may connect a series of eight 6V batteries, six 8V batteries or four 12V batteries for a 48-volt system. Step 1: Determine Your Battery Voltage And How Many Batteries To Use 1-1īased on your system voltage, you must first decide which battery is needed and how many to use in order to meet your requirements. Determine whether you want to use a deep-cycle flooded, AGM or gel battery.Make sure you know your system voltage, battery compartment size (length, width and height) and your energy needs.Each particular system will always require a degree of customized attention.Īchieving Optimum Performance and Long Battery Life Slight or significant, these differences will require battery maintenance to be adjusted accordingly. These are only guidelines to follow for proper battery care. Battery type, charger technology, equipment loads, cable size, climate, and other factors can all vary. While reviewing our battery maintenance tips, please keep in mind that all battery systems are unique. Our experience has shown that the key factor to achieving optimum performance and long battery life is to follow a regular care and maintenance program. Trojan Battery Company has been manufacturing deep-cycle, flooded batteries for more than three generations.
