TC Projects: Lead-Acid Battery Backup

This video is a mishmash of a project, some insight on Lead-Acid Battery technology, inverters, and applications. A bit different you might say from TC’s normal stuff, but what’s life without a little variety? *There are definitely different ways to charge lead-acid batteries, with different strategies optimized for different results. However, for general 12V applications, a large battery and a slow-ish charger for a car battery will be an A-OK combo. Here’s a link to the battery monitor--a really neat thing, I should say: https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Capacity-Indicator-Electric-Quantity/dp/B071HW4QHL/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1538883912&sr=8-5&keywords=battery+monitor+drok As far as batteries and inverters, go with whatever you like. But definitely don’t use a car battery. At a minimum, look for a marine deep cycle, and if you can get your hands on a pair of golf cart batteries or a 12v true deep cycle from brands like Trojan, do that. For inverters, I would recommend a pure sine inverter for most applications, but unless you plan on running some heavy stuff from a large battery bank, what’s shown in the video is way way way way way overkill.
