Deep Cycle Batteries

A battery is used to store the electricity generated by your solar panels. Batteries can be divided into two different types - deep-cycle batteries and automotive or shallow-cycle batteries.

Deep-cycle batteries are designed to cycle repeatedly. This means they can be charged, drained and re-charged again and again. This is the kind of battery used with solar systems. These batteries are designed to provide a steady amount of power over long periods.

An automotive battery can only provide a burst of current for a brief amount of time (like to start your car). Automotive batteries are not designed to run loads for prolonged periods. This is why vehicles have an alternator to power automotive electronics and recharge the battery.
