B Battery Types

The information in Appendix B will help you to select, connect, and

maintain batteries that are most appropriate for your application.

The batteries that you use strongly affect the performance of the XPower

3000. It is important to connect the inverter to the correct size and type of

battery.

Battery Types

Automotive Starting Batteries

The lead-acid battery you are most familiar with is probably the starting

battery in your vehicle. An automotive starting battery is designed to

deliver a large amount of current for a short period of time (so it can start

your engine). Only a small portion of the battery’s capacity is used when

starting the engine, and the spent capacity is quickly recharged by the

running engine.

The starting battery in your vehicle is not designed for repeated deep-

discharge cycles where the battery is almost completely discharged and

then recharged. If a starting battery is used in this kind of deep discharge

service, it will wear out very rapidly.

Deep-Cycle Batteries

Deep-cycle batteries are designed for deep discharge service where they

will be repeatedly discharged and recharged. They are marketed for use in

recreational vehicles, boats, and electric golf carts—so you may see them

referred to as RV batteries, marine batteries, or golf cart batteries.

For most applications of the XPower 3000, Xantrex recommends that you

use one or more deep-cycle batteries that are separated from the vehicle’s

starting battery by a battery isolator.
