The Kitali Solar Battery 200Ah (20 hours) is a type of deep-cycle battery designed specifically for use in solar power systems. The battery has a capacity of 200 ampere-hours (Ah) when discharged over a 20-hour period. This indicates the amount of charge the battery can deliver over time. It's a measure of how long the battery can sustain a particular level of current flow before reaching its fully discharged state.
Unlike automotive starter batteries, which are designed to deliver short bursts of high current, deep-cycle batteries like the Kitali Solar Battery are optimized for continuous discharge and recharge cycles. They can withstand frequent deep discharges without significant loss of capacity or damage to the battery.
It is that the Kitali Solar Battery uses lead-acid chemistry, which is common for deep-cycle batteries used in solar power systems. Lead-acid batteries are known for their reliability, durability, and relatively low cost compared to other battery chemistries. Many deep-cycle solar batteries, including the Kitali Solar Battery, are maintenance-free. This means they are sealed and do not require regular topping up with distilled water. Sealed construction eliminates the need for electrolyte maintenance and reduces the risk of acid spills or leaks.
The Kitali Solar Battery 200Ah (20 hours) is suitable for a wide range of solar power applications, including off-grid solar systems, hybrid solar systems with grid backup, solar street lighting, telecommunications, and remote power installations. It can store excess energy generated by solar panels during the day for use during periods of low sunlight or at night. With proper care and maintenance, the Kitali Solar Battery can provide reliable energy storage for many years. Regular monitoring of battery health, appropriate charging and discharging practices, and protection against overcharging or deep discharging can help maximize the lifespan of the battery.
