When setting up a home power system, batteries are a key component of
the system.
And with most of us, so is the cost.
Where do you get your batteries and why?
And are used batteries worth the effort to seek them out?
Thanks

higher.

Used batteries are usually toast, which is why the original owner is
getting rid of them. Occasionally, folks get rid of perfectly good
batteries in order to upgrade their pack (don't mix old with new). Last
year, we gave our old T-105's to a friend, and they still were
performing well. We upgraded to a set of L16's. Ours came from

Please log in for more thread options my best friend has a wind generator he built himself in 1960/
he collects used car batteries from friendly neighborhood garages, has
about 15, its a big bank of used batteries but its free.
he swaps bad ones so it costs no one money just his time, he marks all
dead ones with paint so he doesnt bring them home twice.
lots of folks replace car batteries before there gone, like me they
dont want to get stranded
