Recommended Battery Type
Battery 12-volt, Group U-1; sealed (maintenance free); 30 amp hour minimum. This type of battery is commonly known as a lawn tractor or wheelchair battery. You can easily find them at stores like Walmart, Sam's Club, etc.
Using a smaller amp-hour battery may cause damage to the charging system. The wiring harness has two 1/4” ring terminals to connect to battery posts.
If the installation is located in an area that has frequent power outages (AC-charged systems) or might experience weeks of no sunshine, then a larger amp-hour battery needs to be considered. A 70 amp hour battery minimum would be recommended for those locations.
CAUTION!!! Do not install a wet cell battery into the control box; this type of battery usually has removable caps used for service and will vent into the control box.
