This ensures:
1. You’ll always have a nice back-up supply of power.
2. And you’ll also be able to use your batteries a little more gently so you
don’t have to consistently drain them.
#4) Fully Charge The Batteries Every Three Weeks
At the very least, make sure to fully
charge your batteries every 3 weeks.
This reduces corrosion on the inside
and ensures equalization.
#5) Keep Your Batteries at an Ideal Temperature
Because temperature extremes cause batteries to deteriorate much faster, it is
important that you keep your batteries in a place where the temperature is
relatively stable.
Aside from enclosed above-ground structures, you can also create a structure that
is partially underground. This way the temperature in the structure will remain the
same no matter what the weather is like outside.
In addition, make sure that the charge controller or inverter system has a built in
temperature compensation feature. This is necessary because the charge voltage
limit of a battery increases as temperature drops and decreases at temperatures
increase.
