Deep cycle batteries are commonly used in industrial applications such as mining, railroad, forklifts etc. They are also commonly used for golf carts. Essential in situations where a consistant voltage is required and where a battery will undergo many full and partial charge and discharge cycles, deep cycle batteries are able to handle harsh cycling and maintain voltage and performance over a period of many years. For this reason, deep cycle batteries set the solar industry standard for almost all solar battery applications.

Not all "deep cycle" batteries are equal. Many batteries sold for marine or general use are sold as deep cycle batteries but in reality are hybrid batteries that have some but not all of the features that a true deep cycle battery will have. SPP and SplitCool recommend Trojan deep cycle batteries and Trojan RE batteries. Trojan Battery is one of the top names in industrial batteries and is the world leader in deep cycle batteries. Trojan has been manufacturing batteries in the USA since 1925.

Solar batteries must connect to the panels via a charge controller. For maximum performance and solar battery life we recommend a MPPTsolar charge controller.
