"Lead acid battery technology has come a long way since 1859, the year it was invented. You no longer have to check the state of charge with a hygrometer, or top the batteries up with distilled water. Batteries are now safer, more reliable and in some cases, virtually maintenance free.

You no longer have to check the state of charge with a hygrometer, or top the batteries up with distilled water. Batteries are now safer, more reliable and in some cases, virtually maintenance free. Lead acid batteries are recommended for use with inverters because:
- They are low cost, widely available and easy to manufacture
- They are durable and dependable when properly used and stored
- The self discharge rate is lower than that of other battery technologies
- There’s no memory effect
- They can produce a lot of current very fast, which is important in inverter applications.
