Trojan SPRE 06 415

Trojan is a well-known and trusted brand for renewable energy batteries. Their L16’s were and are the battery of choice, right from the start when people moved off-grid in the 1960’s. Designed with an 8- to 10-year battery life, Trojan Battery’s Solar Series line of flooded, deep-cycle batteries is specifically engineered to withstand the rigorous conditions of deep-cycle renewable energy applications.

Deep-cycle batteries used in off-grid and unstable grid applications are heavily cycled at partial state of charge (PSOC). Operating at PSOC on a regular basis can quickly diminish the overall life of a battery, which results in frequent and costly battery replacements. To address the impact of PSOC on deep-cycle batteries in renewable energy (RE), inverter backup and telecom applications, Trojan Battery has now included Smart Carbon™ as a standard feature in its Solar Industrial and Solar Premium flooded battery lines.

The Trojan SPRE 06 415 is a direct replacement for their L16RE-B-6V battery.

Recommended Charge Settings (at 25C)

Equalize time: 2.5 hours, add distilled water as-needed halfway through

Absorb time: 0.42 x C / I, where C is the 20-hour battery bank capacity and I is the real-world charge current

For example, a 12 Volt bank of two SPRE 06 415 batteries, 377 Ah battery bank, with 1000 Watt in solar PV would have a realistic charge current of around 65 Amp in full sun. That makes for an absorb time of 0.42 x 377 / 65 = 2.44 hours = 2 hours 30 minutes

Maximum charge current: 15% of 20-hour battery bank capacity (ie. 0.15 x 377 = 57A for a SPRE 06 415 battery for example), never more than 20%

Low-Voltage cut-off: 11.1 / 22.2 / 44.3 Volt (corresponds to about 80% Depth-Of-Discharge)
