That’s a range of batteries by Superbatt, made up of the following models: the AGM1100, AGM1000, DT120, LM110, and LM100. This range has become highly popular in the last few years with leisure vehicle owners (campervans, caravans and motorhomes), as well as owners of boats, and for usage as a storage battery, and for solar power systems.
Let’s start with the battery – the muscle behind your home battery storage system. The size of the battery you install depends on your energy needs. A detached house with five people will likely use more energy than a small 1-bedroom flat with two people. Make sure you do your research before choosing a home battery that’s right for you.
The Superbatt AGM batteries cope much better with high discharge (just don’t go above 70% too often). Sulfation is the build-up of lead-sulfate on the battery plates. It throttles the ability of the battery to deliver and store power. If it continues gathering unchecked, it causes the batteries to die.
Your panels won’t power your home during evenings, for instance. Adding a home storage battery means you can get the most from your renewables and enjoy cheap energy morning, noon, and night. Plus, this concept of consistent low-cost energy also applies during outages.
Very good power delivery (as Superbatt’s AGM batteries have more battery plates allowing better contact with the electrolyte). Price is decent for an AGM battery. Long lasting (handle high discharge well, more sulfation resistant than other batteries, cope well with vibration, and completely resistant to acid stratification).
A home battery system can be charged either from the electricity grid, or via renewable energy sources such as solar panels. When electricity is cheap or abundant (such as during off-peak hours or when the sun is shining), the battery stores energy for later use.
