Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are seeing more and more use in solar electric systems as their price comes down, and as more systems are getting installed that need to be maintenance-free. This makes them ideally suited for use in grid-tied solar systems with battery back-up.

Gelled lead acid batteries actually predated the AGM type but are losing market share to the AGM`s. They have many of the same advantages over flooded lead acid batteries including ease of transportation, as the AGM type, except the gelled electrolyte in these batteries is highly viscous and recombination of the gases generated while charging, occurs at a much slower rate. This means that they typically have to be charged slower than either flooded lead acid or AGM batteries. In a solar electric system you have a fixed amount of sun hours every day and need to store every solar watt you can before the sun goes down.

All of our Battery interconnect cables are fitted with 3/8" (10mm) terminal lugs. Make sure to check your battery posts to ensure they can accept this type of connection. To select the proper length of cable, put the battery bank in place and measure the distance between the battery terminals you need to connect.

With the NEW Ensemble system from Enphase, when there is a grid outage - you can still have power!  If you have a solar grid-tied system on your house - unless you have battery storage, you will NOT have power during a grid outage.  Well, now you can avoid the nuisances and disruptions that come along with blackouts.  Safe, modular, and easy to install, Encharge AC storage systems can be easily set up as a new Enphase solar system for your home or added to an existing Enphase system that’s already on your roof. Available in 3.3 kWh and 10 kWh configurations.

These premium battery interconnect cables are assembled and crimped in our own altE warehouse. Using high quality stranded copper conductor, we are able to create both AWG 2/0 and AWG 4/0 cables in a variety of lengths.

Applying the proper charge voltage is critical for achieving optimum battery performance and longevity. The ideal charge voltage required by batteries changes with battery temperature. The battery temperature sensor allows the charge controller to continuously adjust charge voltage based on actual battery temperature. Temperature compensation of charge voltage assures that the battery receives the proper charge voltage as battery temperature changes during normal operation.
