Trojan T-105 Battery

We've started with 8 Trojan T-105 (golf cart) batteries. These are unsealed deep-cycle lead-acid batteries.

They're not particularly expensive batteries, and we're likely to replace them in a few years with batteries that have a longer lifetime. For now, we expect they'll do just fine.

Specification
DC250

This is a circuit breaker that protects the battery, inverter, and DC cables from damage caused by short circuits and overloads. The breaker interrupts a surge from the battery that can occur when short-circuited.

It is also designed to provide a long enough time delay to allow the inverter to surge to full power without nuisance tripping of the breaker. If it is tripped, it can be reset.
