With so many different style and types of batteries (Lithuanian Ion, flooded lead acid, ect ect) on today's market it is no wonder why so many are left confused, bewildered, or just give up entirely and stay with whatever energy source is available for their energy needs. Ac energy does not store power as dc energy does in banked battery systems, meaning with dc storage you have available energy even if the wind or solar are not at 100% of the system design. These systems can also be auto start generator protected. Battery banked systems can even take generator energy running 24 hours a day to a lower running time of up to 70% or more savings, meaning lower generator fuel consumption and maintenance. These saving numbers have been proven and implemented with components from various vendors in today's market.

Putting batteries in series does not increase amp hour rating but does increase voltage... 2, 12 volt batteries in series is 24 volts, 3 in series is 36 volts, 4 would be 48 volts but battery string capacity will always be battery rated ah. The storage of groups of amp hour 48 volt dc energy is possible by keeping the voltage at 48 volt dc and separating these groups by microprocessor and other circuit switching. Where they will not back feed into one another in groups of the banking isolated groups to keep raising amp hour storage capabilities. Also by this type of switching arrangement online and offline charging and groups are isolated when any one group reaches set battery drain of example 20% leaving 80% still in reserve it goes off line for charging befor that group comes back online. By this arrangement there is Unlimited Energy available and each group is evenly balanced not over or under worked for unlimited storage capabilities.

A good set of batteries are the heart and soul of any hybrid inverter system system and need constant monitoring, climate controlled, and maintained per monitoring reporting. The highest cost factor for any wind, solar, hybrid system is the batteries. Treat the batteries right and they will survive their life cycle and then some per monitoring reporting. Put them in the wrong environment and they could be destroyed quickly as with over charging over heating issues and other factors.

You do not need to be a chemist or engineer to figure out the many different styles, types, or ratings of batteries if turn key package system was either build by you or purchased as a turn key system. If built by you then do a lot of research and consult with the right engineers to design your system. I am neither a chemist. engineer. or professor but am a retired master electrician with over 40 years experience with over 10 years into dc to ac sine wave inverter energy power. By taking both ac & dc skills I have discovered many efficient ways to have Unlimited Energy from just batteries storage using solar, wind with hybrid micro grid sine wave inverters.

Getting into the dc side of this I was amazed at the rubik's cube of components that were necessary to achieve this energy source, Many hours of research with authors, engineers, components companies and their staff's, and other sources.Have come to the conclusion that bringing the right personal together can make the impossible energy sources feasible by sharing data to any energy requirement.
