![]() ![]() Taking the cube with you is as easy as pulling a suitcase at the airport. The side of the solar power cube has a convenient fold out storage compartment, which is useful for additional accessories. ![]() Recharge the built-in 55 AH AGM/gel hybrid battery faster using the included home AC or vehicle DC outlet. Simply charge the internal battery using its 5 total solar panels, which fold out from the top and roll out from each side, and use the power to run your AC, USB or DC devices from anywhere. Under no circumstances should your battery bank be located in an unvented area or unprotected area where someone may accidently short circuit the battery bank.Wagan's Solar ePower Cube Solar Generator is the ultimate portable power source. Pans or trays under the battery bank is a good idea if you plan on making a homemade battery box.īecause flooded lead acid (FLA) batteries produce toxic, corrosive and potentially explosive outgases, ventilation for the battery bank is a must for FLA batteries and are recommended by AGM battery manufactures. The battery storage system should also be constructed in such a way as to contain any potential spill. Any parts in direct contact with the battery terminals should be electronically insulated. ![]() If the battery bank is placed on racks, the rack should be of sufficient strength to support the bank with room to spare. The battery box or enclosure may be insulated or there are cooling and or heating accessories available to protect the battery bank from extreme temperatures swings.īattery racks should be made from ridged materials that are resistant to deterioration. Additionally the batteries should be stored in an area to avoid dramatic temperature swings if possible which will improve the life cycle of the batteries.īatteries can be stored in appropriate boxes, on the deck (concrete) despite wives tails which advise otherwise. If the battery box is located above the ground it should be in a location out of direct sunlight. Your battery box should be sized and strong to hold the batteries allowing for air to move between the battery casing. ![]() NEC codes generally require that a battery bank has to be installed in some type of enclosure separate from the other electrical equipment. All enclosures are provided with integrated louvers located to promote convective air flow through the enclosure to reduce internal temperatures and remove gasses. Pad mount, chest style enclosures are manufactured with 0.125" 5052-h32 aluminum. The Aluminum Chest Style Enclosures come in either insulated or non insulated. A hydrogen vent tube in the top should be extended to exterior of building. The plastic is easy to drill with hole saw to attach conduit fitting for inverter cables. The box has an insulated base with removable middle section that minimizes lifting, easing battery installation. The Heavy Duty Plastic Enclosures are designed to hold Flooded L-16 type batteries and is made from high density polyethylene (HDPE) sheet. They are for use with sealed AGM or gel batteries. Midnite Solars' grey powder-coated Steel Battery Enclosures with locking doors are ETL Listed for the US and Canada for indoor use. ![]()
