Hallo Tilo,
die 6 Elecsol 100 Batterien haben rund 630 EUR inklusive shipping gekostet. Allerdings bekommst Du die Dinger auch in D z.B. von YEHEK@t-online.de .
Die Kapazität der Elecsol 100 beträgt übrigens 100 Ah (100h), 75 Ah (20 h) und ca. 50 Ah (1.7h). Die letzten beiden Werte habe ich selbst gemessen bei Temperaturen von etwa 10 Grad.
Wie gesagt, ich kann bisher nicht meckern. Mein Hauptgrund war das geringe Gewicht und natürlich auch die beworbene Lebensdauer. Der Händler von dem ich die Batterien gekauft hatte (ist leider letztes Jahr verstorben) hat mir folgendes geschrieben:
Elecsol batteries - Carbon Fibre batteries - are in my opinion the BEST
VALUE for money, (but not the best, Optima produce the best batteries, but
then you will pay a lot more for the Optima equivalent). The technology
works, we have for example:-
(a) We have discharged an Elecsol battery, placed a short circuit across the
terminals and left it like that for month. We have then re-charged the
battery and it fully recovered.
(b) It is the only battery on the market that comes with a 5 year guarantee.
(c) In the UK, Elecsol batteries are used by the BT Outside Broadcast
company as back up, (They also use Victron Energy products), and these guys
are in the business of serious money!.
Like all batteries they perform best when they are correctly sized for the
task, the installation is correct and the re-charge cycle is done at the
correct levels, by an intelligent charger, correctly set up and sized for
the battery pack. The recharge/discharge parameters of batteries in general
are not well understood, even by people who have been dealing with batteries
for years, which is disappointing.
Some customers for example charge Elecsol batteries way above the 20% of AH
level recommended, (120 Amps into a 300AH battery pack for example), then
complain that the battery gets hot and uses a lot of distilled water.
So in answer to your question I believe Elecsol batteries are the best value
for the money. That is why I sell them.
Auch Reinout Vader von Victron Energy von denen ich meinen Wechselrichter habe benutzt die Elecsol Batterien schon viele Jahre auf seiner Yacht und lädt/entlädt sie mit hohen Strömen.
Gruß,
Emil
