Battery selection for a battery maintained installation

Warning! A rechargeable 12 V lead-acid battery must be used for a battery maintained installation.
The battery selected for a battery maintained installation must be able to supply the energiser's current
requirements for the duration of a mains/power outage. For maximum reliability, the battery should not be
discharged below a 50% charge level. The table below is based on a 12 hour power outage.
The battery charger power pack should be able to supply the energiser's current requirements and recharge the
battery in an acceptable time. The recharge times shown in the table are for the Stafix 2 A (FSTPP2A) and 4 A
(FSTPP4A) battery charger power packs.

After the battery is charged, disconnect it from

the battery charger before connecting it to the
energiser.
Caution! Over-charging the battery will reduce its
life. Do not exceed the recommendations of the
battery manufacturer when recharging the battery.
Correctly installed solar energiser systems and battery
maintained installations require very little battery
maintenance. The solar panel or battery charger
power pack should be sufficient to maintain the
battery at full or near-full charge.
Warning! Batteries contain harmful chemicals and
when used incorrectly, may cause injury. Observe
the guidelines for battery care, maintenance and
safety in this manual and in the documentation
supplied with your battery.
