Does anyone have enough experience with these batteries to recommend a brand for best life. I have a 12ah on my panel and two 8ah on the backup supply that I'll be replacing before too long.
I've been very happy with Power Sonic batteries. I've purchased PS1290 batteries for the Elk from ecomelectronics via eBay. Same physical size as the 1280 batteries, but a bit higher capacity.
The low battery event should be displayed on the keypad and also be logged. This earlier thread describes how/when the logging occurs.
Ok. This is old thread but since I started it, wanted to finish it
I finally got back to this once the panel started giving me battery trouble message. After a few more measurements, I ended up buying biggest batteries that each device could handle. The link to Powersonic site http://www.power-sonic.com/ps_psg_series.php that RAL posted earlier was really helpful in selecting right battery.
For M1g, a Powersonic PS-12180-F2, 18Ah
For P212s power supply, a Powersonic PS-12120-F2, 12Ah
I installed them and they fit nicely with some room to spare. Next, i need to test them to make sure the load is balanced to prevent P212 to fail first. Thanks to all who helped out.
For anyone else that comes across this thread...
Based off recommendations here, I've used Powersonic batteries for a couple systems as well with no issues.
