… that way, it will weigh less since all the electrons will be out of it.”
So, I go to the ARES meeting last night and Rick is there with a present for me – a 400 Ah wet cell at 12 volts.
THIS THING IS HEAVY!
I can’t find the specs on it yet though, so am unsure what it’s actual weight is. I just know the blasted thing weighs a ton. It was probably quite funny for the person that got to see me lugging it out of the car and into the garage this morning.
The battery is going to become the new energy storage system for my solar panels. I am going to move away from the 2x90Ah gel cells and move to this thing. I gotta build a shelf and make a battery box for it first, along with coming up with a vent system for it. Granted, it is just one battery, but it still needs to vent the hydrogen outside.
