Batteries

Leisure / Deep Cycle batteries are specifically
designed for good performance in terms of
charge / discharge cycles. Batteries are the most
important part of the renewable energy battery
charging system and should be sized according
to the load requirements and provide at least 3
days reserve capacity. This will reduce cycling,
prolong the life of the battery and ensure system
reliability during periods of low wind.
• Permanent connections should always be made
to the battery terminals. Never use crocodile clips
or similar devices.
• We strongly recommend that one of the voltage
regulators available from Marlec is fitted to
prevent batteries becoming overcharged in
strong winds and during low energy consumption
periods. A regulator is essential with gel and
60Ah
sealed batteries.

• Batteries may be linked as shown in the figures
10 and 11. It is essential to observe polarity as

The cable used for connection of
the Windcharger to the regulator
AWG
should be in accordance with this
table. The use of smaller cable will

reduce performance and will cause
damage to the turbine, regulator or
