How to Maintain Your Solar Batteries

Your batteries are the heart of your solar system. Proper maintenance can mean the difference between 5 years and 15 years of service.

General Best Practices

Regardless of your battery chemistry, follow these rules:

1. Keep them Cool: Excessive heat is the number one killer of batteries.
2. Avoid Deep Discharges: Try not to let your batteries drop below 20-30% capacity regularly.
3. Check Connections: Ensure all cables are tight and free of corrosion.
