Hi everyone,
Wanted to find out which type of battery storage will work for my situation.
Am planning to put (2) 12 volt 10 watt led flood lights and a 20 watt panel, in a remote area to light a sign, and wanted to find out a way to store SLA batteries in that location for best life. Can putting batteries in a vented NEMA box above ground work year round effectively? or as I have been thinking, taking a 6" PVC pipe 2 or 3 foot long vertically in the ground with an end cap glued to the bottom. Then lowering the batteries to the bottom, cap the top (unglued) with vent hose to maintain a constant temp of around 50-55 degrees. which if I read right, is the ideal temp for SLA batteries. Not sure that would possibly be the temp at that depth though, but wanted to ask. I'm in Kentucky.
Thanks and look forward to suggestions,
John
