More on stationary batteries

Over the past five years, more and more households have opted to store batteries in combination with photovoltaic systems. These so-called home storage systems including stationary batteries store excess solar energy during the day and make it available for personal use at night. They reduce the amount of electricity taken from the grid, thereby reducing the electricity bills.

Stationary batteries are most suitable for photovoltaic applications due to their long service life and exceptional ability to work in slow charge and discharge modes. They also have a greater depth of charge than monoblock batteries.

In this TIENDA SOLAR category, you will find stationary EnerSys batteries, which is a world leader in energy storage solutions for industrial applications and offer high-performance and durable solutions for renewable energy applications. EnerSys maintains its leading position by providing world-class products and services to its customers.

Its batteries are based on proven ventilation technology and are designed for use in renewable energy sources that require maximum service life with the highest reliability. They are particularly suitable for use in solar power systems and provide continuity of power supply in the dark or in periods of low solar radiation. Reduced maintenance helps reduce costs and makes it the ideal solution for many remote or unmanaged sites.

Advantages:

• Excellent cyclability;
• High operational reliability;
• Capacity range: 216Ah – 3360Ah (C10/1.80Vpc/20°C);
• Low maintenance;
• Extremely extended water topping-up intervals (3 years);
• Long service life.

When is it advisable to purchase a stationary battery?

The purchase of a stationary battery may be advisable in a variety of situations and applications. Here are some circumstances where it might be a suitable option:

• - Backup power systems: If you live in an area prone to power outages or in a remote location where there is not constant access to the grid, a stationary battery can be an excellent option for providing backup power. This ensures that you can keep critical equipment running or maintain power in your home during power outages.
• - Renewable energy and off-grid systems: If you use renewable energy sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines, a stationary battery will allow you to store the power generated for use when the power source is not available, such as at night or when there is not enough sun or wind.
• - Industrial and commercial applications: In industrial or commercial settings, stationary batteries can be essential for backing up critical systems, emergency equipment or managing electrical load during peak demand.
• - Hybrid power systems: In some cases, hybrid systems that combine renewable energy sources with a stationary battery can be used to optimize power supply and reduce electricity costs.
• - Grid stabilization: In certain locations, stationary batteries are used to stabilize the electricity grid, helping to compensate for load fluctuations and maintain a more consistent power distribution.
• - Energy storage for self-consumption: If you have solar panels on your home or business and want to increase the self-consumption of the energy generated, a stationary battery can be an option to store excess energy and use it when needed.
• - Critical or outage-sensitive applications: If you operate critical or outage-sensitive equipment, such as communication systems, data systems or medical equipment, a stationary battery can be essential to ensure uninterrupted operation.

In summary, the purchase of a stationary battery is recommended in situations where you need to store energy for later use or when you require a reliable and continuous backup power source. However, before purchasing a stationary battery, it is important to conduct a detailed analysis of specific energy needs and consider factors such as required capacity, battery type, efficiency and available budget. Consulting with experts in energy storage systems can also be helpful in making an informed decision.

What does stationary use mean in a battery?

The term "stationary use" in the context of batteries refers to the type of application for which a particular battery is designed. In this context, "stationary" means that the battery is used in a fixed or stationary location, as opposed to mobile applications, such as batteries used in automobiles.

Stationary batteries are designed to provide power to devices or systems that remain in a fixed location and do not move from place to place.

How long do stationary batteries last?

The life of stationary batteries can vary widely depending on several factors, such as battery type, usage conditions, proper maintenance and product quality. In general, stationary batteries are designed to have a longer life compared to batteries used in mobile applications, such as automotive batteries.

To maximise the life of a stationary battery, proper maintenance practices should be followed, avoiding deep discharges, maintaining proper charge levels, and keeping the battery in appropriate environmental conditions. In addition, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's specific recommendations and perform regular maintenance according to the guidelines provided for each type of battery. A well-maintained, high-quality battery is more likely to last longer and provide optimum performance throughout its life.
