Submarine
Batteries
"The
smart alternative, for long lasting power".
"
FIVE-FOOT HIGH Nuclear Submarine Batteries are very conservatively
designed to outlast the lifetime of a submarine boat, (35 years). One
of the great improvements is the use of calcium in the very thick
oxide-lead positive plate. This allows low gassing during charging,
which results in only adding water once every two years, and much
lower charge loss, due to charge migration during stand-by. We
estimate for home use you will get 35 years or better with good care.
Each cell is 2.2 volts per cell X 7000 amps = 15,400 watt hours, a 12
volt system = 6 cells X 15,400 watt hours= 92,400 watt hours, this
could run an average household for up to 45 days, (ganging more cells
together can accommodate 24 volt, 48 volt, etc., systems). With a 48
volt system, (24 cells), 4 X 45 days = 180 days = 6 months. When
current is drawn from batteries at 200 amps or less, instead of 7000
amps, as above, kilowatt hour ratings are increased 20 to 30%. This is
due to the lower heating effect of the acid. (1 kilowatt hour = 1000
watts every hour or a toaster or a 1000 watt light bulb left on for
one hour). Operating batteries at room temperature increases the
efficiency still more. Using the electrolyte pumping system built into
each cell increases the efficiency still more. This prevents acid from
settling out, by pumping acid from the bottom of the cell to the top.
These batteries were made by Exide, one of the leaders of battery
manufacturing. Weight 1068 lbs. with acid; 900 lbs. dry; 14" X
14" X 58" high; fiberglass case for extra strength; 22 gal.
ordinary auto battery acid (available in most cities for $1.50 per
gal.); all new cells shipped dry on pallets FOB Brockton,
Massachusetts. Can be trickle charged from commercial power, wind
generators, or photovoltaic. You will find the quiet power of
batteries is far better for peace of mind than a noisy generator that
has to be serviced & fueled regularly. Why deal with small
batteries with short lifetimes, replace the weak link in photovoltaic
systems with true lifetime submarine battery cells. Call for
