Exide Energystore Batteries

These heavy duty tubular positive plate batteries are made in Sydney, and have an excellent cycle life.

They come in their own non-conducting polyethylene outer containers, and don't require separate battery spill trays.

Our experience with these has been that they are terrific batteries that stand up well to transportation to remote sites, and the tough Australian outback conditions.
We have been installing these batteries as our preferred choice for many years now.

Century ENERSUN SSR Batteries

Enersun SSR has advanced tubular plate technology for long reliable life

Enersun SSR Solar Energy Battery utilises sealed tubes for the positive plates to keep the power - producing active materials in the cavity and intact throughout the life of the battery.
The active material is injected into the cavity of the tube by highly sophisticated process. Shedding is effectively eliminated and corrosion is reduced, thus providing long battery service life.

This unique tubular technology has proven to be reliable, and has excellent deep cycling capacity.

Features :

Advanced technology tubular positive plate construction - ideal for deep cycling applications
Individual 2 volt cells encased in rugged steel trays for extra durability
Large ‘top of plate’ electrolyte reservoir to minimise topping up for less maintenance
Large volume electrolyte minimises effect of temperature variation
High charge acceptance - ideal for solar applications
Robust construction and heavy duty casing designed to last as long as the battery
Detailed installation and maintenance manual provided with each battery
Maintenance kit, including hydrometer and thermometer, provided with each 12 volt battery
Wraparound separators provide extra protection against short circuits

The SSR range consists of individual 2 volt cells encased in a rugged steel case.

The cases have an acid-resistant coating and are designed to fully protect the cells, as well as their filler caps and terminals.

The cells have tubular positive plates, which have excellent deep cycling characteristics and also have an extra volume of electrolyte included to minimise the frequency of topping up required.

The overall construction of these batteries is similar to that used to stand up to the harsh requirements of batteries used in electric forklift trucks.

Concorde Sun - Xtender Batteries

Sealed Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery technology
- the electrolyte remains liquid and is absorbed in a micro fibrous glass mat.

The Sun - Xtender range of batteries have been developed especially for use in solar / wind applications where long life, deep cycle, low internal resistance, superior charge acceptance and energy density are required.

Unlike the Gel type batteries which have a highly viscous silica gel electrolyte mixture, SUN-XTENDER batteries outperform gel batteries by reducing the time required for recharging. This is a result of reduced electrolyte viscosity resulting in faster gas recombination.

By design, the SUN-XTENDER produce less than 1% hydrogen gas under extreme overcharge conditions at elevated temperatures. For flammability a concentration of at least 4.1% is required, making these batteries ideal for use in confined applications or equipment enclosures. Additionally, the tightly packed plate construction provides a very high degree of shock and vibration resistance, making the product ideal for mobile applications.

Features:

Copper alloy terminals for improved electrical connections
Threaded insert terminals are recessed to prevent short circuits
Flat top design with no protruding vents
Reinforced container walls to prevent bulging
High impact strength polypropylene case
Completely sealed valve regulated construction
Non-spillable immobilised electrolyte
Maintenance free - never needs watering
AGM separators retain electrolyte and allow battery to be mounted on its side
Low self discharge rate - approx 1% per month
Operate over a wide temperature range (- 40 degC to 72 degC)
Classified "non-spillable battery" for transport

Woods Battery Chargers

The WOODS DIALOcharge is a sophisticated electronic, manually operated charger suitable for most types of batteries

It employs a primary phase - shift controlled triac to precisely supply charging voltages and currents during the recharge cycle.

The DIALOcharge can successfully recover deeply discharged batteries.

The DIALOcharge covers a variable range of battery voltages which provides great charging flexibility in the workshop. (eg: a 24V DIALOmatic can charge batteries of any voltage from single 2 volt cells to 24 volt battery banks)

Due to the precise power control provided by the DIALOcharge, it may be used for fast recharging of operational batteries, or for overnight slow trickle charge situations.

Solazone Battery Control Cabinets

Solazone control cabinet showing PL60 regulator & fuse switch inside

Size : 485 mm wide x 690 mm high x 275 mm deep

Labelled terminals for batteries, inverter, charger and solar panels are safely tucked away, out of sight, as shown below

Solazone pre - wired control cabinets quickly mount on the wall for easy installation.

The solar regulator, fuse switch (with 3 fuses), shunt, PLS2 shunt adaptor, and solar panel input terminals, are all pre-wired on an insulated board, inside a lockable steel cabinet.

Also included are labelled brass terminals for inverter, batteries and battery charger.

The cabinet has a built - in safety switch for the solar panels, and also a bypass for the PL regulator so it maintains it's memory and settings, when the main battery fuse is withdrawn during servicing.

Four models are available:

Each model has a different regulator, together with the correctly - sized fuses and safety switches suited to that sized system.

Upgrading the system voltage from 12 to 24 or 48 volts, or adding more solar panels later, is possible with only minor alterations.

Cabinets come fitted with Plasmatronics regulators - PL20, PL40, PL60, or an Outback 60 amp maximum power point tracking regulator.

Model	Solar regulator	Prices
P20	Plasmatronics PL20	$ 1200
P40	Plasmatronics PL40	$ 1300
P60	Plasmatronics PL60	$ 1550
M60	Outback MPPT 60	$ 2300

Solazone pre-wired cabinets not only save a lot of time on site, but also result in better and safer solar power systems.

Installations are safer and more professional, because there are no dangerous exposed wires or bare terminals anywhere.

The large, brass terminals are all clearly labelled, thereby reducing the possibility of incorrect wiring. All fuses and switches are rated for the specific project.

Solar installers and electricians can save time and money by using these pre - wired cabinets, and just connecting up the main items.
