How To Check The Conditions Of Used Deep Cycle Batteries

Checking the voltage of used batteries with a multimeter

In my previous post, I showed you a video of how a man managed to get hold of 1000 Ah worth of battery for only $40.

How do you know if the used deep cycle batteries you’ve purchased can be reconditioned to working service condition?

The only option is to do a voltage test on the batteries with a multimeter and then do a discharge load test.

As you can see in the video above, each used deep cycle batteries are charged up and then tested with a multimeter to check its voltage output.

Next, the battery is run through a load test to map out its voltage discharge curve.

The discharge curve will show you if the battery has a weak cell or whether it has sulfation in the cell.

DIY Home Battery Bank

When you are setting up a home renewable energy system such as solar or wind power, one of your biggest expenses would be on the batteries.

The number of battery needed will depend on your power requirement.

If you are planning to plug-in a lot of electrical equipment to the system, obviously you will need a large battery bank.

What type of battery should you use to store all the energy generated by the solar panels or wind turbine?

It is recommended for you to use deep cycle battery.

Deep cycle battery can hold a lot of power and yet it will release the energy over a longer time frame.

Unlike car batteries that release large amount of energy for a very short time in order to crank the engine, deep cycle battery tends to release a steady flow of electricity.

The deep cycle battery can also be discharged to a deeper level hence it is perfect for home solar power system.

Getting The Best Out Of Your Investment

Most deep cycle batteries are quite expensive. To save cost, it is best you course for used dead deep cycle battery and then reconditioning them into good service state.

Do you want to know more on reviving dead or weak batteries?

If you do, check out the EZ Battery Reconditioning program.

In the program, you will learn how to:

Get old or “dead” golf cart batteries, industrial or L16 batteries
Recondition them back to 100% of their working condition
Use those “like-new” batteries instead of buying new overpriced batteries to save a lot of money

The guide will also show you how to recondition many other types of old, dead batteries back to 100% of their working condition again (so they’re just like new), including:

Car batteries
Laptop batteries
Cell Phone batteries
Marine batteries
PLUS MANY MORE!

So if you’re ready to learn how to recondition all types of batteries…

Do It Yourself Solar Panels

Save Money with Do It Yourself Solar Panels

When I was doing my Earth 4 Energy review, I realized Michael Harvey mentioned you can have a home solar power system setup with a budget of about $200.

I was wondering if the figure was realistic. In actual fact, many people are dismayed by the expenses involved to setup a home solar system.

The prices range from $2000 all the way to $8000. These are home solar projects done by a professional contractor.

I guess, to save cost, you can opt for a Do It Yourself solar energy system at home. You can save money by doing some preliminary planning and spend time sourcing for used or reconditioned solar cells. All the process will take substantial time investment. Luckily, Earth 4 Energy manual does recommend a few ways on how you can find cheap solar Photovoltaic cells.

The investment that you have to do for a home renewable energy system need not be so discouraging. After the initial fees, a large amount of power can be saved in the long run. In addition to this, many states have funded solar rebate programs or tax credits.

Also, if more electricity is produced than needed, it can often be sold back to the utility company. This means that it is actually possible to make money by setting up a home solar power system.

Solar power for homes is fast becoming main stream. It is clean, efficient and renewable. Many people mistakenly assume that solar power is too expensive without really looking into it.

As Michael Harvey’s of Earth 4 Energy pointed our, it is easy to set up and cheaper than you think.

The First Step In Using Solar Power For Homes

Is using solar power for homes really a practical solution to cut our home electricity bill?

To be totally dependent on renewable energy to power our home may not be a far fetch idea.

Many people have done it throughout the world.

One thing is for sure.

These people will count every watt of energy their home consume.

The first step in using solar power for homes is to make a full power audit.

We have to find out how much power all of our home appliances are using.

This can easily be done by looking at the technical specification of the equipment.

The specs will show the wattage consumption of the equipment when it is running or on standby mode.

Why do we need these numbers?

It is an important guideline for us to decided whether to keep it or discard it.

For example, if the water heater is consuming lots of power and is not very efficient, we can choose to replace it with a newer and more efficient unit.

We have to make our scarify because living off the power grid is not a cheap endeavor.

You will be surprised how much power you’ll save just by replacing old and inefficient appliances with new ones.

To use solar power for homes, we have to really keep track of our household power usage.

We should start by understanding how a complete solar power system works.

The information can easily be obtained from numerous home solar power guides on the web. The next step is to start identifying the power leakage before your start building the solar arrays.

How to save cost on home solar system power bank?

One of the biggest investment in a residential solar power system is the battery bank. Generally, a power bank will consist of deep cycle batteries link in parallel.

Most deep cycle batteries are quite expensive.

To save cost, it is best you course for used dead deep cycle battery and then reconditioning them into good service state.
