6 Battery Selection Select a batter y or system of batter ies that will pro vide your APS with proper DC v olta g e and an adequate amp hour capacity .* Select ‘Deep-Cycle’ batteries to enjoy optimum perf or mance from y our APS. Batteries of either W et-Cell (vented) or Gel-Cell/Absorbed Glass Mat (sealed) construction are ideal.
7 1. Make sure that your APS batter ies have pr oper overcurrent protection. NEC article 551 requires that y ou install a recognized UL component fuse block and UL listed fuse within 18 inches of the batter y . The fuse’ s rating must equal or e xceed the Minimum DC Fuse Rating listed in your APS model’ s specifications on pa g e 13.
