Is this a deep cycle battery? Looking to use it with solar panels, 1000w inverter, and water well pump (110vac, 6.6amps).

I would go to Costco and buy a deep cycle marine battery for your application if you have room for it.

I bought it to replace a battery in my DR leaf vacuum. It was used to crank the Briggs and Stratton engine that powers the unit. Not sure if it would serve your purpose. Sorry can't be more help.

I don't think this is a deep cycle battery, but you should check with the manufacter. It works great for the application that I wanted it for.

way to small for use with 1000 watt inverter. i have a new motorhome with a 1000 w inverter that is connected to two group 24 deep cycle batteries. some folks use two or 4 golf cart 6 volt batteries on inverert. all depends on what you are going to run, how ofter and what your pannels can put back. ask your local solar store or rv dealer.

I don't know for sure but I'm thinking its not. I think you would be better off with a Autozone gold series or other deep cycle battery. Though ur pump is only 6.6 amp, where as my home 1/2hp sump pump is 20amps. If ur application is something u need to be reliable and counting on under heavy runs I would look at true deep cycle car or better golf cart battery.

The inverter should handle the start up spike just fine and the normal pumping will not be a problem. You might end up being a bit lean on your energy production with just one solar panel, depending on your energy draw.

Ya you can run this with photovoltaics. The only thing is that this is 120VAC so you will need an inverter from the solar panel to the pump. More than likely there are DC pumps out there and you could hook directly to it. It will start pumping when the sun comes up and stop when it goes down. If you want it to continuously run then get a larger solar panel --&gt; charge controller--&gt;battery--&gt;pump. My estimate since pump is 6 watts get at least an 18-20 watt panel then a battery that will last you through the night, 6 watts * 18 hours * 2 (oversize it) = 216 watt*hour battery.

No, it is just a basic 1000W inverter. I think you are mistaking an inverter for a Universal Power Supply (UPS) that has a small battery in it to keep your electronics running for a short time in the case of a power outage.

Wasn't aware of this [requiring a non-std batt] - mine works fine with a 12 volt deep cycle from wally-world. There are other issues with this model (brand?); connections and side-scanning limitations.

'minimal use'? HF 400 Watt inverter manual: "Deep cycle (marine and RV) batteries can be charged more times than a car battery, and are a better choice for repeated use of the Power Inverter. Do not discharge your car battery more than 10% of its total capacity, and deep cycle batteries more than a 50% discharged state."

I honestly do not know for sure. But I would say that you would want a deep cycle battery (one that can be run out of electricity repeatedly without damage) and this is not a deep cycle battery.

Repoleved pretty much answered the question. It depends on how much you use the battery and how much you drain down the charge. Mine runs a circulation pump for my solar water heater. I have a 12 boat (deep cycle) and it always seems to keep it charged up. When my panel arrived it had a cold solder joint and I had to re solder it to make a good connection, and you need to figure out how to mount it.

300 watts of solar panels to charge the batteries and run the pump. 4 group 24 deep cycle should due and a 30 amp charger. also there have been problems with pump and i have one go out after just three months. so you might look at another pump

I agree with the other posts . You need Deep cycle batteries but you also can find power inverted made to accomplish this task the only question being capacity wattage and if it has pure sine wave out put as long as your load isn't more than what the inver can provide and battery has enough capacity & is of correct type then you should be fine . Never however modify or tinker with UPS and modify it beyond what the design say .

vA=w(Volts)(amps)=watts. Regardless of AC or DC. And lead acid batteries work fine, just use a true deep cycle battery like a 6vdc "golf cart" type battery. These are much better than Marine deep cycle. Just make sure your input DC volts matches the units input parameters. The main issue is the battery charging. Lead acid has a different charging parameter than whatever is in this unit... sealed agm probably. Just bypass the charging circuit and add an appropriate charge controller. There are many good ones on the market.

Hello, I am using (2) 250 watt panels with four deep cycle battery bank and it works great.

I wish I could answer that. I power mine with a deep cycle battery. I can say that it uses very little power to work and works very well. It is a really great value

Hey race walker, just about anywhere. I installed my panels on a motorhome that has been using two 12 volt 200 amp hr deep cycle batteries wired in parallel without solar. For the last 6 years I have used two GC-2 240 amp hr 6 volt golf cart batteries wired in series. I have always used this rule, get the newest, heaviest batteries that you can afford. In my case I have been served best by 6 volts golf cart batteries in series since my system is 12volts. Hope this helps

I believe the battery will do the job. I live off the grid and I am using two of these batteries to power a solar powered chest freezer and a solar powered water pump, full time on my small ranch. Even during the recent winter storms,(no sun), we have plenty of power for all our watering needs, for home and livestock. Patrick

I actually have 4 of these 100W panels, with 3 VMAXtanks Vmaxsir 125 AGM deep cycle 12V 125ah rechargeable batteries. Today I ran 3 circuits in my house. One for the computer, the A/C motor on my central A/C, and my refrigerator. This configuration is exceeding my expectations!

12 volt batteries are used with the inverter.Use deep cycle batteries.You need to use several of them and depending on what you are running with the inverter the large inverter will discharge them pretty quick. I use 8 deep cycle batteries with my inverter and wish I had more. I am using the inverter with solar power. Hope this helps.
