35AH 12V DC Deepcycle Solar Energy Storage Battery Wholesale

Bought this for a portable solar generator kit that I take camping so I can have power in primitive campsites. 35 amp hours is PLENTY of power for charging the smartphone, running a 12 volt fan continuously for those hot days & nights in a nylon tent, using a 60 watt equivalent LED desk lamp at night (with an inverter, of course & only pulling 3 watts on the desk light) & powering a portable washing machine (on the same inverter). Some campsites I've been to, are "No Generators Allowed On Grounds", but this setup *is* allowed. I just call it a "Solar Panel" to get by their rules. Having been to places where some RV'ers run their gas generators WELL into the night past "quiet hours" (with loud mufflers on them or NONE at all) I can see why that rule applies. And when the wind is in the wrong direction, you have to smell the fumes from those gas powered monstrosities! Talk about the headache from... well, you know where!

Has some issues with the butterfingers at USPS dropping and damaging a couple of these, but Chrome Battery immediately sent out replacements. Understandably, it required sending a picture of the damage for insurance purposes, but there was no shortage of customer service. To make sure the last battery got to me undamaged, Chrome battery double boxed the one I got undamaged.

Used this to run a small trolling motor on my canoe, worked great, never drained it, but didn't go out for very long. Love that I can tip it over, get it wet, not worry about venting it when charging. You pay more, but LOVE the sealed batteries. Using it right now with a 60 watt solar panel in my basement (in winter) to run some misc chargers etc as a fun side project, but it handled the trolling motor on my canoe just fine and fit in the middle seat compartment. So far no complaints.

Keeping up just fine. Got our heater, tv and fridge on it and it seems fine. We wanted to go small and see how solar system works before going full solar support for most of the house. And well, I gotta say that I'm surprised how well it's keeping up with the main juice suckers of the house. Electric bill is down a bit, although we didn't use that much to begin with. But now that it's the holidays and cold, we should see a bigger difference over the next couple of weeks.

I should note that although this worked great in summer, for winter, we needed a bigger battery. A much bigger one, lol. We actually had to practice conservation of energy. It was a hard and interesting experience. Showed us how much we do rely on things. But when the power did go out, it was nice not to have to scramble for candles and flashlights. It was nice to continue watching our movie with the heat on, put on a pot of tea and eat leftovers. Even if one can't afford to go full solar, which we can't just yet - laundry, dishwasher, yikes - but it's still so awesome as a back up.
