Battery
Use only a new fully charged 12 Volt deep cycle marine battery. Electrolyte level must be
checked and maintenance must be done in accordance with manufacturer’s guideline.
Battery sizes that will fit into the battery box are 24C, 24VCM, 27C, 27CM, and 27F.
Battery recharge time will be different at each installation. Under normal conditions it will

discharged. If electrical power to the house is lost more than once a week, consider
keeping a spare, fully-charged battery to replace an exhausted battery for the standby
