Battery Types and Sizes The batteries that you use strongly affect the performance of the TS400. It is important to connect the inverter to the correct size and type of battery. The information in Appendix B will help you to select, connect, and maintain batteries that are most appropriate for your application.
Battery Types and Sizes Battery Types Automotive Starting Batteries The lead-acid battery you are most familiar with is probably the starting battery in your vehicle. An automotive starting battery is designed to deliver a large amount of current for a short period of time (so it can start your engine). Only a small portion of the battery’s capacity is used when starting the engine, and the spent capacity is quickly recharged by the running engine.
Battery Size Battery Size CAUTION The TS400 Sine Wave Inverter must only be connected to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The TS400 Sine Wave Inverter will not operate from a 6 volt battery and will be damaged if connected to a 24 volt battery. Battery size or capacity is as important as the battery type for efficient operation of your loads. Xantrex recommends that you purchase as much battery capacity as you need.
Battery Types and Sizes Estimating Battery Requirements To determine how much battery capacity you need: 1. Determine how many watts are consumed by each appliance that you will operate from the TS400. You can normally find the watt rating labelled on the product. If only the current draw is given, multiply it by 115 to get the power consumption in watts. 2. Estimate how many hours each appliance will be operating each day. 3. Calculate the daily watt-hours needed for each appliance. 4.
Estimating Battery Requirements This example illustrates how quickly your battery needs can escalate. To reduce the required battery size, you can conserve energy by eliminating or reducing the use of some loads or by recharging more frequently. When sizing your battery, resist the temptation to skip the last step of this calculation (multiplying by 2).
Battery Types and Sizes Using Multiple Batteries As your power requirements increase, you may need to use more than one battery to obtain sufficient capacity. Read “Two Batteries Connected In Parallel” on page B–6 and “Two Separate Battery Banks” on page B–6 to determine whether two batteries or two battery banks are more appropriate for your applications.
Battery Tips Battery Tips WARNING: Explosion and fire hazard Review “Precautions When Working With Batteries” on page viii before you work with the batteries in your system. Explosive/Corrosive Gases Lead-acid batteries may emit hydrogen gases, oxygen, and sulfuric acid fumes when recharging. To reduce the risk of explosion: • Vent the battery compartment to prevent the accumulation of gases. • Do not install electronic or electrical equipment in the battery compartment.
Battery Types and Sizes Battery State of Charge You can measure battery state of charge with a hydrometer or approximate state of charge with a voltmeter. Use a digital voltmeter that can display tenths or hundredths of a volt when measuring 10 to 30 volts. Make your measurements when the battery has not been charged or discharged for several hours. For a deep-cycle battery at 77 ºF (25 ºC), use the following table: B–8 %DWWHU\ 9ROWDJH 6WDWH RI &KDUJH 12.7–13.0 100% 12.5–12.6 80% 12.3–12.
