Batteries
Leisure/Deep Cycle batteries are specifically
designed for good performance in terms of charge/
discharge cycles. Batteries are the most important
part of your battery charging system and should be
sized according to your 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 is essential with gel/sealed batteries.
Batteries may be linked as shown in the figures 11
and 12. It is essential to observe polarity as
follows:

The cable used for connection of the
Windcharger to the batteries should be in
accordance with table 1. The use of a
smaller cable than recommended will
reduce the performance of the charging
system.
Cable and connectors are available from
your dealer or the manufacturer.
