Deep Cycle AGM Batteries are the most popular batteries for Australians who are looking for the best deep cycle technology as well as superior performance. AGM Deep Cycle Batteries are also known as Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) Batteries, and they use technology that suspends the free electrolyte within a highly porous (AGM plate) this means the battery is constructed using glass fibre mat separators. AGM plates help eliminate the hazards associated with acid spills or leaks and allows for a sealed maintenance free design that avoids any need for regular topping-up of an electrolyte.

What is the Best Basic Solar Setup?

• Solar Panels or a Solar Mat / Solar Blanket
• A Good Quality Solar Regulator - This will protect your AGM Battery from overcharging.
• An AGM Deep Cycle Battery - Why AGM type? This is the best type of battery to store the solar power produced by your solar panels. And so you feed the power from your solar back into an AGM Battery.
• Battery Box with12 Volt sockets -  A good battery box should be simple and sturdy and will allow you to run or charge 12 Volt appliances and accessories such as car fridges,DVD players, radios, LED lights, fans, air/water pumps, air compressors, mobile phones, TV’s, tablets, cameras and more!
• This system will work to recharge the battery via the solar panels and does not necessarily need to be fitted to a car or caravan. This means, if you are camping you have the option to leave it at your campsite to charge up during the day while you are out and about exploring. Also you can use them at home or around your property. 

• You can spend anywhere from around $4.00 to over $400 on a Battery Box Setup, and you'll usually get exactly what you pay for!

Battery Boxes vary from the very simple right up to a complete electrical power pack source system including battery charger, portable power station, battery management system, and even up to a dual battery system.

Lets start at the start with the best features of a Basic Battery Box:

• It should be moulded from high density, high quality, corrosion-resistant polypropylene at least 4-5mm thick.
• There should be multiple, closely spaced internal ribs on all sides and bottom for maximum battery support, as well as multiple ribs in the lid so when it's closed it sits firmly on the battery top.
• The box will have an internal tie-down strap, a wide, strong, thick woven external carry-strap, and ideally two tie-down straps or foot clamps and heavy duty stainless steel screws so you can lock it in place in your boat, caravan 4 x 4 or RV.

One-step up from these very basic ones, (and highly desirable) are Battery Boxes with internal power connections from the battery leading to protected external cable connectors. Any and all connectors or sockets must be high quality Andersen plugs and quality, Hella or Merit-type sockets.

• These Battery Boxes come in a range of sizes to suit batteries in group sizes 27, 30 and 31 with Amp hour capacities of between 60 and 160Ah. They'll also suit almost all battery types including from lead acid, Gel, AGM, and Calcium.

From there you can go right up to the top-of-the line models: These Battery Power Packs are really complete electrical systems which have an inbuilt 300W Pure Sine Wave inverter which allows you to safely use both 12V and 240V appliances from the external sockets, including power lighting, portable fridges, and solar panels.

They will (or should have) a 15A automatic reset circuit breaker that protects the accessory and Hella/Merit sockets so you can charge items like mobile phones and laptops without any problems. They'll be fully equipped and instrumented with an LED Battery Voltmeter which will show you battery type, Amp hours available and battery voltage, plus an On/Off Master Switch to prevent battery power loss, an On/Off Inverter Switch, Power Socket/s with Off/On switches, Warning and Power LED Light, Low Voltage Alarm, 5V 2A USB Power Socket, On/Off USB Power Switch, LED Display (with battery charging Information including battery charger Input), 7 stage 6Amp AC charger, Anderson cabling and alligator clips, 2x 12 volt (cigarette) type sockets, 2x Merit sockets (Merit sockets are high quality heavy duty connections that are ideal for high current draw accessories), an Anderson Plug, and they'll suit batteries up to 150AH. And from there, you can even go up one more step to a custom-built box where every feature, including instruments, the number of sockets and plugs etc can be built specifically for your needs. Our team are happy to talk to you about any of these options!

What is Best Advanced Solar Setup ?

• Solar Panels or a Solar Mat / Solar Blanket
• A BCDC Charger with a built-in Solar Regulator - This not only charges your Deep Cycle Battery as you drive but also stops the solar panels from overcharging the battery when you’re stationary. +++The Deep Cycle Battery which you usually have mounted somewhere inside your car is not to be confused with the battery under the bonnet which starts your car's engine. 
• YOU NEED a reliable Deep Cycle AGM Battery - DO NOT confuse this with the battery under the bonnet that starts your car. The purpose of the AGM Deep Cycle Battery is to run things like a 12 Volt Fridge, LED strip lights and a few USB charging ports, and a range of camping equipment.
• Pure Sine Wave Inverter - This is connected to the Deep Cycle Battery and works to converts the 12 Volt power stored in the AGM battery to 240 Volt power.

This means you can use any household appliance that plugs into a normal power point - think coffee machines and thermomix’s. The size of the inverter you require will depend on the wattage of the appliances you intend to use. You can check on the tag or sticker of an appliance to find out its wattage. e.g. a coffee machine or thermomixer is about 1500 Watts.
