Going to buy new batteries for my Elk setup now that its just about done.
I have all my smokes running off the main board, and per Elks UL listing (and common sense in general, I guess) I want it to run as long as possible. Any recommendations for 1 or 2 batteries, and what aH rating to get? I have the 28" can, there is a LOT of room for batteries but I wasnt sure if the Elk would have trouble with a high aH battery.
I also have an Altronix UL600 power supply in the enclosure it came with. What are my options there? The height and depth are pretty restricted because of the can, but I have about 12.5" of width to work with....can I get 2 batteries and parallel them? The Altronix manual only says 2 batteries are required for 24V use (Im running it at 12V).
And while we're at it, any recommendations on battery brands? Oddly enough I can get Yuasa batteries from Amazon in 2 days (prime shipping ftw!) at a decent price.
Thanks in advance.
