A battery bank stores energy from the sun for when the sun isn't shining. The size of the battery bank determines how much energy your solar setup can store, which is vital because the sun doesn't always shine when you need energy.

Good Wholesale Batteries for Solar Setups are Essential
It's essential that you pick the right kind of battery for your solar project. You want batteries that can survive a good amount of use, over many years. A fine choice to look for batteries is your local wholesale battery shop. These shops carry a range of batteries that are built to be used for solar systems. They can help you to find batteries that fit the needs and the budget of your solar setup. An online store can also be a place that is reliable, as many web retailers will sell a wide array of batteries at excellent prices and offer reviews by past buyers.

A good warranty ensures that if anything is wrong or breaks on your battery bank, you will have your battery replaced or repaired at no additional charge. You'll also want a battery bank with a high cycle count, which represents how many times it can discharge and recharge without losing significant storage capacity. This is like having a water bottle that you can refill and reuse again and again. A battery bank with these features is a good sign that you are purchasing a reliable, high-performance product.
Common problems with Solar Battery Banks and How to fix them
Even a good solar battery bank can run into minor issues. The most common problems include under- and over-charging of the batteries, both of which can reduce the efficiency and lifespan of the batteries. This occurs when the charge from your solar panels is not correctly managed, causing too much or too little electricity to go into the battery bank. Too little, and your batteries will die sooner and lack power when you want them to perform, too much and you will damage your batteries and shorten their useful life. For fixing both of these, a quality charge controller is the only answer, as it regulates the charge going into your battery banks from the solar panels.
Batteries also get older and lose some of their storage capacity after years of use. This is natural and unavoidable for any battery. As it degrades you will begin to lose power over time. Keep track of how long you've had your batteries, and plan to replace them periodically. Also, take care not to leave your batteries where it is too hot or too cold, as temperature extremes damage their function. Make sure they are always connected properly and that there isn't any visible corrosion, and if there is wipe it clean with a cloth and a bit of baking soda and water solution. Always make sure you have a battery bank of sufficient size; otherwise, you will not have sufficient power from your solar setup. BOX-E can help you calculate the ideal size battery bank.
