The Backyard Revolution

Posted on by jeremy crookham

MIT BREAKTHROUGH DISCOVERY HELPS YOU SAVE 65% ON POWER BILLS! STARTING TODAY!

You’re about to see how getting burglarized, drove a simple carpenter from Orlando to improve these amazing designs and make them work, getting as much electricity as he wantedjust 10 sq ft of solar panels in his own backyard.

SOUNDS UNBELIEVABLE?
Well… MIT Doesn’t Think So.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO RIGHT NOW WITH $975?

Would you go on a beautiful and well deserved vacation? Would you take your loved ones for an unforgettable night out? You could even let it sit in the bank and cash in the interest for darker days… Well, it’s totally up to you!

And why $975? Because that’s how much you could be saving in your first year alone on your power bills. Because that exact number is what our beloved government and BIG energy monopolists will rip you off for in 2019.

How are they doing it? Actually that’s the easy part. Myths and legends… All that the media is raving about are the mind blowing, extreme price tags and the unreliability of alternative power sources. And that, my friend, is a big fat lie… Conceived by the greedy executives to keep us trapped… Filling their dirty pockets with our blood sweat and tears… Each and every month.

Renewable energy is NOT expensive. Done the right way you’ll have it up and running for mere pennies… Never at the 20k price tags you hear about on TV. And you can see the savings piling up overnight… You might be going all the way up to 65% off your power bill from the very first month.

But is it really worth it? How long does a single charge last?… Not to mention maintenance, snow, and all the space they take… Or even worse, putting your health and safety at risk by hanging them on the house and climbing up there to clean them. It’s a nightmare when winter comes… High winds… Or when a sudden hail storm hits.

Instead of going for the usual side by side layout, this system was going upwards. Stacking the panels one on top of the other. But how could the sun waves reach the second or even the third layer of cells? It was easy… Put them in zigzag and you still get 100% sun exposure on just 2% of the traditional system layout. The trick was in the angle.

No worries… No maintenance… No headaches… And actually no real work!

THE “BACKYARD REVOLUTION” WAS BORN

$200 for a system… for a worry-free life and a full bank account of savings.

It’s probably the simplest, easiest to use A to Z blueprint… that ANYONE can follow to make their own cheap green electricity…

You won’t need the grid:

In a survival scenario, when the power is down, or a nationwide blackout sends us back into the stone age… rendering 21st century technology obsolete… you’ll be safe and sound in your own cozy home, still enjoying a good movie with your loved ones, cuddled up on the couch eating popcorn like it’s a Friday night.

You won’t need the space:

The “Backyard Revolution” system needs only 5% of the surface used in conventional solar panel systems. All because its ingenious vertical design! A lot of my friends have actually placed it on balconies… so you don’t even need a backyard! Using less space means that it’s easier to protect from looters… and also easier to keep it a secret from a nosy neighbor!

Plus: there’s no maintenance required.

Just put the system in a sunny spot for a few hours a day for a full battery charge. Or you can just leave it in one place… forgetting about it for a whole year. Probably the only time you’ll think about it will be once a month… when the mailman swings by to give you an even lighter electricity bill… filled with “best wishes” from your power company.

And the easy to use, no maintenance “Backyard Revolution” system can provide you with another huge advantage. It gives you crucial time to do more important things in a crisis. While others will be busy dumpster diving for food… your “miniature power plant” takes care of itself. You’ll have more time to protect your family… to learn a valuable skill you can barter with… or to be the “Rick Grimes” of your community.

More and more people are discovering the joyfulness and peace that comes with Off-Grid electricity.

A disaster-proof, recession-proof, drought-proof “backyard power plant”… that will give you all the money saving comfort you and your family need and deserve.

… your family won’t be at the mercy of others!

The “Backyard Revolution” program is jam-packed with all the knowledge you need to have super-success with solar energy – not in years of trial & error, but in as little as a day!

It took me almost 2 years to refine my method.

Sweat and literally tears to see it finally work. But in the program, I’m giving you my fool-proof shortcut so you don’t have to make the same rookie mistakes all over again. Going Solar can be super-easy… and almost “hands-free”… but only when you have the whole recipe, and not just bits and pieces.

And unlike “emergency power banks”, you won’t have to wait for a crisis, in order to enjoy your savings. Since I took up solar, I slashed my power bill by more than $120 a month. Some people actually don’t pay a dime on electricity anymore! That’s thousands of dollars in yearly savings that you can enjoy starting today!

“Backyard Revolution” is THE solution, if you want to be energy self sufficient. It’s an A to Z, step by step, “take you by the hand” blueprint and video guide for having your own personal power plant up and running by the end of the day.

It’s a special report that puts “Backyard Revolution” on over-drive, and turns it into a foolproof disaster proof and EMP proof off grid power source for any impending emergency! It’s more than a power plant: with this special protection system, your family will have electricity even if, God forbid, an all out EMP or natural disaster takes out the grid for months on end… so you’ll never be “in the dark” in a crisis situation.

This radical report will help you store the excess power the Backyard Revolution system will be putting out. So none of that valuable power juice goes to waste. You will find out what are the best methods to do so, and what types of batteries to use… How to revive old ones and how to make ones from scraps laying around your house or in some cases forgotten in your garage.

LET ME ASK YOU THIS:

How much is it worth to you to literally save 68% on electricity bills for good? How much is $1248 worth to you right now? Because that’s what you’d be saving in the first year alone… Money that otherwise would be headed down that Spartan bottomless pit the power execs call their pockets…

And how much is it worth it to you to know your family will stay healthy, happy and well fed whatever might be heading our way… and to know they won’t have to go through the agony of home invasion, freezing cold and starvation like everyone else?

If this power system helps you plug the deadly leaks in your bank account… if it helps you put food on your kids table when the world outside is on fire… if it finally gives you the peace of mind you deserve… knowing that you’ve done everything to keep your family alive in the coming blackout… how much would that be worth?

You could try a second mortgage on a traditional solar panel system from a private contractor (AKA Still Your Power Company). That would cost you anywhere between $17,000 and $43,000… and even then, you’d still have to go through all the legal mumbo jumbo of connecting it to the grid.

How would it feel to be stuck in a severe crisis… whether it’s personal finance or nationwide and to look back and know that you could have made your family’s life so much easier, simply by watching a video for 20 minutes?

The “Backyard Revolution” program will show you how to build your own silent “pocket power plant” for just $200… Saving thousands of dollars on those dreaded bills year in and out starting today – and put that money into something more useful. Buy your S.O. something nice… Take your family on a stunning vacation. Or just enjoy life the way you want to.

“Backyard Revolution” was born from the idea that “energy independence” should be something everyone can afford. Because the more self-reliant families there will be in America… the easier it’s going to be to rebuild it to what it once was.

HERE’S HOW THIS WORKS:

Just say “maybe” to the “Backyard Revolution” program. If you have ever watched a short video and followed simple instructions, then you already have all you need to know to have an endless supply of green cheap electricity for your family. We’ve made this as newbie-friendly as we could.

Energy prices are taking a double whammy – when greedy power companies have seized control of the cheapest and most reliable green power source on the planet.

Every time the grid takes a dive, everyone in this country is at a life threatening risk. And how most “off the shelf” solar systems are outrageously expensive, and unless you’re rich, it’s unlikely you’ll ever have one hanging on your roof.

The Backyard Revolution has a step-by-step video guide and blueprint is THE best way to take towards saving thousands of dollars while being prepared for that disaster that’s looming over our heads each and every day.

Now, the ball is in your court.

SO THE CHOICE IS YOURS…

Either go ahead and close out this window. That’s your right of course, and there won’t be any hard feelings on my end.

As you’re opening another bill you don’t want to be paying… staring at the damned 3 digit number on the total line… or killing those porch lights because you really can’t afford to have them on all night…

This is about your family… its comfort and its safety.

Even with all of today’s technology… one single grid failure can send us all back into the dark ages…

So wouldn’t you trade 4 hours and a risk free deal for the chance to live a worry-free life?

And with Backyard Revolution you’ll not only be protected alt all times… but you’ll be saving so much money that you’ll actually be on profits… and you won’t have to wait for a disaster to get “dividends” from your investment.

Because…

IT’S THE BEST CHEAP ENERGY SOURCE YOU COULD HOPE FOR

…to last you through a decade-long depression while watching cash piling up in your savings account with each second that passes by.

It doesn’t require maintenance, it doesn’t require work, it’s silent and it doesn’t require space.

What it does need, is an open mind. Try the program now… see how fun it is to build your Backyard Revolution system. Experience the thrill of ripping open your first one digit bill of your life. And know that if the worst does happen… you no longer have to worry about putting safety, comfort and food on the table.You’re getting my special “Homestead EMP Protection Protocol” report, for protecting your home and power supply from any disaster, EMP or all out blackout that might be heading our way.

This time next year, you’re going to look back and congratulate yourself on making a good decision. Just imagine: it’s 2019. You’re ecstatic because you’re about to pay for that beautiful cruise your wife had always dreamed about… All with the money you saved on those retched bills. And you’re proud! Yes, you’re proud, and you have every right to be because you’re free. You made the right decision and seized the opportunity to be independent.

Q&A

“If Going Solar is so good, why aren’t more people doing it?”

There are plenty of reasons for that. First, it’s the price of retail solar panel systems. At $20,000 or more, not many people can afford it. Second, it’s the fear factor. Most people think this is too complex to build. They are partly right, because most books and courses overcomplicate it. The fact is, Going Solar is easy when you have the proper blueprint.

“How hard will this be to make?”

This is so simple and easy to build, you’ll kick yourself for not taking up solar energy earlier. The whole thing takes 2 hours, doesn’t require strength, and the most difficult task you’ll do is just a bit of cutting. That’s all, and really there’s no excuse for not giving it a try. In fact, if you don’t want to lift a finger, you can still do this. Just pay someone $50 to watch the short video and to put together the system for you.

“How long will this take?”

It will take you a little over 30 minutes to watch the video. And that’s it. Building the system takes under 2 hours if you’re slow. A lot less if someone’s helping you.

“I don’t have a lot of space. Will this work for me?”

Not only it will work for you… but it’s probably the best kind of “solar array” you could hope for. That’s because you can make use of any space – not just a backyard, but also a balcony. And the best thing is… Designed Backyard Revolution so it wouldn’t kill my tiny yard. That is… The whole system is less than 10 sq ft.

“I live in a cold state. Will this work for me?”

It definitely will. Solar is not about hot or cold… It’s about the sun… And the coldest winter days are the sunny ones.

“Can I power an entire house with this?”

I don’t suggest that you rely on any ONE particular source of electricity, because if that source is gone, your family is exposed. That being said, the Backyard Revolution system can definitely power an entire house, but it all comes down to how much power you’re actually using. The system can be scaled to give you as much power as you want, and adding new modules is easy as pie once you understand the simple principles behind how the Backyard Revolution works.

That’s why it’s important that if you decide to try Backyard Revolution, you do it fast. So why not do it now? Spend 30 minutes on watching a simple video…for a lifetime of savings and safety.

The Lifestraw Review

Posted on by jeremy crookham

The Lifestraw Personal filter is suited for solo on-the-go use. It’s lightweight design and low price make it very attractive. However, there are other products out there if you’re willing to shell out a bit more cash. A decent option if you’re looking for a fast on-the-go filtration system.

Performance Comparison

A lightweight personal filter that allows you to drink from virtually anywhere.

Water Quality

Utilizing a hollow fiber filtration cartridge with 0.2-micron pore size, it can filter out particulates, bacteria, and protozoa including Giardia and Cryptosporidium. It does not treat viruses. This handy filtration system works best in clear water but has the affinity to clean out turbid water.

Simply wear it around your neck or tuck into your pack as you adventure through the wilderness. It provides good filtration but struggles a little bit in turbid water.

Durability & Maintenance

This system seems to be pretty durable overall with few parts. It’s pretty simple. Our only worry is the LIFESTRAW could snap along the length of the tube because it’s so long. The filter lasts around 1000 liters or 264 gallons.

A look at the intake. While you can’t clean this directly, you can blow the water back through if it gets clogged. While this isn’t ideal, it works well enough.

Unfortunately, you can’t troubleshoot this filter as everything is enclosed and inaccessible. If it clogs, it’s hard to unclog. Blowing it out the other way works, but it’s not very efficient.

Treatment Speed

Using the power of suction, attaining water is instantaneous. It does not require pumping, and it’s not a chemical treatment. It’s a great emergency filtration system because of its quick ability to attain water. It, unfortunately, cannot store water, unless you donate a container that you carry dirty around with you.

Weight & Packability

The LifeStraw is one of the lightest options out there. At just 1.75 ounces and a narrow profile, it’s super duper easy to pack away and use for lightweight travel. It slides nicely into a side pocket of backpacking, or you can wear it around your neck with its removable lanyard. We found that it was a little too long to use with a hydration vest as it got in the way, but could tuck into a pocket in the back.

An ultralightweight filtration system that can be used for trail running or short backpacking trips.

Ease of Set-Up

There’s not much needed for set-up. You only need to find a water source that you can access. The Lifestraws longer length doesn’t require you to get your face right into the water, but we typically found ourselves on our knees getting muddy or having to get into the water source to access the water. It might be hard to reach a river with a super steep bank or use this on-the-go filtration system off the side of a big boat…unless you feel like getting in.

Ease of Filtration

After you’ve found your water source. For the first few seconds, you won’t get anything as the tube needs to fill with water first before you can get water. The wide intake and output give you a decent flow of water after those first few moments. If the water is murky, this becomes even harder, and the flow decreases significantly.

The mouthpiece that provides good flow, but takes a little effort at first.

Another caveat to this system is that it doesn’t store any water. If you plan on using this while backpacking and you know you have a long section without water, it’s advised to carry dirty water in a storage container. From the storage, you can then drink. However, this isn’t ideal as you have to sterilize that storage container before filling it with clean water once again. Because of these limitations, this filter is best for on-the-go use with less ideal options for storage.

This model can also be used to drink from a bottle, allowing you to collect water at the source and carry it with you, and then you can drink it later.

Value

This value is hard to beat. Its capabilities are limited to personal on-the-go use. .

Little puddles in granite pockets are a perfect place to get water while alpine climbing with this model.

Conclusion

The Lifestraw Personal filtration system is suited for one person on-the-go use. It doesn’t have storage functionality, but water treatment is instantaneous, and there are better performers out for much higher price, but the low price is hard to beat. A great option for emergency use or short trips into the backcountry where water will be plentiful.

10 Reasons Why Your Dog Ignores Your Commands

Posted on by jeremy crookham

Is your dog giving you deaf ears? When this happens, avoid repeating the command over and over and imposing yourself until you get a response; instead, take a step back and consider the following scenarios which are some of the most common issues encountered when training dogs.

1) Low Value Treats: Are Your Treats Worth Working For?

It’s a romantic and hard to debunk myth that dogs work for us just to please us. In reality, as opportunistic beings, dogs are most likely thinking “what’s in it for me?” according to the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). The right use of treats can really make the difference between a dog who is eager to work and one who couldn’t care less. The use of low-value treats (such as kibble) can be detrimental if your dog isn’t excited by them, especially during the initial stages of learning or when there are distractions around, so make sure your treats are worthy of attention.

Also remember to stick to treats which are soft, smelly, and in small bite-sized pieces. This allows your dog to quickly gobble up the reward and focus his attention back on you, rather than being distracted by a longer-lasting treat.

A suggestion? Try to use what respected veterinarian, trainer and writer Dr. Ian Dunbar calls the Ferrari of dog treats: Freeze-dried liver.

2) Low Rate of Reinforcement: Are You Missing Out on Rewarding?

In the initial stages of learning or when there are lots of distractions around, your dog may find sniffing the grass, looking around, marking territory and pulling on the leash more rewarding than training. Why is that? It’s probably because there are stimuli that are extra interesting and are worth paying more attention to. If your dog has received little training in the past, he may have been doing this for a good part of his life. Increasing the rate of reinforcement during this time by giving your dog more treats for his training efforts may help to motivate him, and will teach him to pay more attention to you than to the distracting environmental stimuli.

A low rate of reinforcement can also cause your dog to get frustrated and give up trying; remember, during the initial stages of learning you need a continuous rate of reinforcement (giving rewards for every success), and only once your dog shows signs of responding well can you move on to a variable schedule (only giving treats for success every now and then).

3) High Criteria: Are You Asking Too Much at Once?

This is where the saying “be a splitter and not a lumper” comes into play. It is often tempting to try to teach new behaviors all at once in a single evening. When your dog stops working for you, you start thinking: “Am I asking for too much at once?” Truth is, often when dogs fail to respond to a command it is because it is too hard for them. So try not to ramp up the difficulty too quickly; rather, break the objective down into several attainable steps to help your dog succeed. As an example, if you were trying to train your dog to touch the tip of a target stick with his nose, you could reward him for touching ANY part of the stick at first. Over time once your dog gets a hang of this, you could then move on to rewarding him only for touching the rounded tip at the top of the stick.

Try your best to prevent your dog’s progress from stalling, and do not make your training sessions too long – keep them short and sweet!

4) High Level of Distractions: Is there too Much Going on?

Dogs learn best when there are little to no distractions around, so be sure to start your training sessions in a quiet room where there is not much going on.

Once your dog is able to perform the behavior in the quiet room, build from there and gradually start asking your dog to perform the behavior in a noisier room. Then, progress to the yard, a busy street, the dog park and so forth.

If you start on a busy street or at the dog park right away, your dog may not respond because you have not yet built a foundation for the behavior.

5) Lack of Training: Has Your Dog Ever Been Trained Before?

If the handler has a history of being inconsistent and not following through with the dog, there’s a chance the dog may have learned he could get away from certain behaviors and has learned to ignore the handler. Dogs who have never been trained and have been allowed to do as they please for a good part of their lives often find the initial stages of learning difficult, since the concept is entirely new to them. It is up to the handler to become interesting and worth listening to by investing in reward-based training methods, like the ones taught in Adrienne Farricelli’s Brain Training for Dogs course.

6) Unclear Cues: Are You Confusing Your Dog?

Dogs thrive on consistency, so make sure you always use the same command cue and that all other people training the dog are on the same page. If you ask for a command and your dog just stares at you, consider if that command has a history of being used consistently.

In classes, it is not uncommon to encounter a family where the wife uses “come” to call the dog, the husband uses the dog’s name, and the kids just say “here!” Don’t ask for behaviors in multiple ways, and make sure your body language is congruent with the verbal command. Dogs find body language more salient then verbal cues.

Also, try your best not to repeat commands over and over, otherwise your dog will learn not to listen to the first time you say it, but will wait for you to finish your sentence instead!

7) Frustration Buildup: Are you Getting Frustrated?

Dogs are masters in body language and they can easily detect frustration. When the handler’s frustration builds up, dogs often shut down instead of becoming more compliant. In this case, it helps to ask the dog for a behavior he knows well (such as a sit) followed by a reward to end the session on a positive note. You can try the exercise again a little bit later, possibly further splitting the exercise into smaller sections if it was too hard for your dog.

Also, keep in mind that if you start raising your voice, bending down or getting into your dog’s face, you are intimidating him dog and he will feel the need to send you appeasement signals and default behaviors, rather than listening to your commands.

8) Emotional Problems: Are Emotions Getting in the Way?

If a dog is fearful, anxious or nervous, his emotional state may interfere with training. This is because the dog is often in a fight or flight state which affects his cognitive function, impairing his ability to learn. In such a case, you may need to work in areas where your dog is less likely to be frightened and then gradually introduce more and more stimuli in a way which does not cause him to react.

As an example, if your dog was frightened of thunder, instead of immediately exposing him to recordings of thunderstorms on full volume, you should first play them at a very low volume, where he acknowledges the sound but does not become scared. After rewarding your dog while the sound is played, you would, over time and numerous training sessions, increase the volume at which you play the recording. This process is known as desensitization and is a common technique used in dog training.

9) Health Considerations: Is Your Dog in Pain or Uncomfortable?

If your dog ignores you, he may be feeling unwell or uncomfortable. If your dog has always been obedient and is now slacking off, it is best to have your veterinarian rule out any medical problems. Sloppy sits or a reluctance to lay down may be indicative of orthopedic problems.

Aside from medical problems, some dogs may not like to be trained on certain surfaces, or perhaps the weather is too hot, too windy or too cold – there are a multitude of possibilities. Often, a distracted dog may simply need to relieve himself or get a drink of water. Consider how well you could perform in an exam if you were busting to use the bathroom!

10) Are You Forgetting to Brain Train Your Dog?

Many owners are not aware of this, but when it comes to dogs, idle minds are the devil’s workshop. Yet many owners are happy to leave their dogs bored by the fireplace all day, leading to untold behavior problems. The simple secret to a well-trained dog is engaging their mind and getting them thinking.

In the wild, before domestication, dogs would spend much of their lives performing tasks necessary for survival. Even in more modern history, dogs had special roles to perform in their relationships with humans. You can still see these natural drives in dogs today! For example, you will notice how beagles love to follow scents, how some terrier breeds love to dig, and how treeing coonhounds bark upon noticing prey up a tree. Unlike humans who perhaps dread the 9 to 5 grind, dogs actively WANT to work, and when they do not, they become prone to behavior problems, disobedience, and poor psychological well-being. Many owners spend THOUSANDS on dog training when the solution could be as simple as providing Rover with more mental stimulation!

Fortunately, Brain Training for Dogs offers a solution to this problem. Written by professionally certified trainer Adrienne Farricelli CPDT-KA (who’s work has appeared in USA Today, Everydog Magazine, Nest Pets and more), Brain Training for Dogs is one of the first training programs to not only teach obedience, better behavior, important skills and tricks, but to also work on increasing intelligence and engaging the dog’s brain too. Through 21 fun and simple games, the novel and scientifically-proven methods taught by Adrienne are sure to improve the lives of both you and your dog! By the end of Brain Training for Dogs your dog will be able to tidy up his toys, play the piano (yes, really), and identify his toys by name – all while being a better behaved and more obedient dog.

As seen, there are many reasons why your dog may not be listening to you. Don’t quickly label your dog as stubborn, don’t begin shouting commands like a drill sergeant, and don’t give up training altogether – instead, try to give your dog a break and consider what may really be going on. A better understanding of how dogs learn should pave the path to better training.

Hope this helps!

If you’re prepared.

If you’re armed.

If you’re ready to fight.

You’re going to be a survivor.

You’re going to have the element of surprise.

The 3 Best Batteries For An Off-Grid Energy System

Posted on by jeremy crookham

It’s the question that anyone using alternative energy inevitably asks at some point…

What are the best batteries for an off-grid energy system?

Because of the falling prices of renewable energy systems, more and more people are looking to use alternative energy sources as a way to:

  • Save money
  • Become more energy independent
  • And break their dependence on the big energy companies
Solar Battery Bank With Reconditioned Batteries

However, installing a renewable energy system, in most cases, requires you to make a considerable initial investment that you won’t get back for several years.

One of the biggest expenses associated with alternative energy systems is the batteries in the battery bank.

So choosing the correct batteries for your off-grid system is crucial (and keeping the batteries alive as long as possible is also critically important)!

You Don’t Have To Buy New Overpriced Batteries

Before we tell you what 3 batteries we recommend for your alternative energy system’s battery bank…

It’s important to first note that you don’t have to buy the 3 batteries we recommend brand new.

Instead, you can use the EZ Battery Reconditioning program to:

  • Get old or used batteries for free (or dirt cheap)
    • Recondition them back to “like-new” condition
      • Then use those reconditioned (like-new) batteries in your alternative energy system’s battery bank INSTEAD of buying new overpriced batteries Doing this will will save you a considerable amount of money when building a battery bank and it helps make alternative energy accessible to those with a tighter budget!But that still leaves the questions…What are the best batteries to use in your solar power, wind power, or other alternative energy system?In this blog post we’ll try to answer that question in a very simple and straightforward manner.Here’s what we’ll go over:
      1. Lead Acid-Batteries VS. Other Battery Technologies in a battery bank
      2. Deep Cycle vs. Shallow Cycle Batteries in a battery bank
      3. Flooded Lead-Acid Batteries (FLA) VS Sealed Lead-Acid Batteries (SLA) in a battery bank
      4. And finally, which 3 Batteries we recommend for your residential off-grid energy system (based on the criteria we go over in this article)Lead Acid-Batteries vs. Other Battery Technologies Many of the batteries that are used in renewable energy systems were originally designed for other purposes. The most prominent example of this is the lead acid battery which has dominated the industry for a long time.Deep cycle lead-acid batteries have proven to be one of the best (and most affordable) battery types for alternative energy system battery banks for these reasons:
      • They’re able to withstand frequent discharging,
      • They’re cheaper than other kinds of batteries,
      • They have more rugged durability,
      • They deliver more consistent performance than other batteries.The fact that they are widely produced also means that they are relatively easy to replace if a battery in your battery bank needs replacing.It should be noted though, that as of late, lithium ion batteries for residential alternative energy systems, like Tesla’s Powerwall, have been gaining ground – but the initial investment into lithium ion batteries is still much more than the initial investment into lead-acid batteries.The Powerwall may eventually change this but at the moment deep cycle lead-acid batteries are the cheapest and most practical solution for a home battery bank.Deep Cycle vs. Shallow Cycle (Car) Batteries Back when the renewable energy industry was still picking up steam, people that wanted to go completely off the grid would often have to improvise and make do with car batteries. However, car batteries were never built for this purpose and shouldn’t be continuously drained and recharged (which is what they need to do in a solar panel or wind turbine system).Car batteries are supposed to be used only for starting and ignition. If you take a look inside one, you will see that they have a large number of thin plates.These plates have a big total surface area that can facilitate a large number of chemical reactions. When you start your car, these reactions produce the sudden burst of power that is needed for ignition.Deep cycle batteries on the other hand, have thick lead plates that don’t give much room for chemical reactions. Though they produce less current, they are designed to do so for a much longer period of time.In essence, car batteries are “shallow cycle” batteries that will quickly burn out when used as storage for renewable power.Flooded Lead-Acid Batteries  (FLA)  VS  Sealed Lead-Acid Batteries (SLA)Before telling you what three batteries are best for alternative energy system’s battery banks, it should be made clear why flooded lead-acid batteries (FLA’s) are better for renewable energy than sealed lead-acid batteries (SLA’s).One of the reasons that some people favour SLA’s is because they require little maintenance. Unlike FLA’s that need to be checked regularly for water level, SLA’s that are used properly can be left alone.However, sealed lead-acid batteries have two big flaws: they are sensitive and wear out quickly. So if you’re planning on using your solar panel or wind power system every day, this will eventually pose a problem.So, here are the categories of flooded lead-acid batteries that are best for an off-the-grid power system:The 3 Best Batteries So now that we know we want a lead acid battery, that’s flooded (FLA), and also has deep cycle properties …here are our 3 favorite batteries for an off-grid system’s battery bank:1) Golf Cart Batteries Golf cart batteries are the most widely manufactured batteries on this list.They also work great in an alternative energy system application. So it’s no surprise that they’re one of the most commonly used batteries in battery banks for renewable energy systems.Even though the five to six year life span of golf cart batteries may seem relatively short, golf cart batteries more than make up for their deficiency in this area by being extremely durable and cheap (you can also use these 7 tips to extend the life of golf cart batteries).In addition, golf cart batteries can also be found almost anywhere, making them a great choice for battery banks.If you really want to build a high quality but inexpensive battery bank one of the best options is to:
      1. Get old or “dead” batteries from golf courses or golf cart shops for free …or dirt cheap (just call them and ask if you can have their old batteries probably lying around and cluttering their shop)
      2. Then recondition those batteries to like-new condition with the EZ Battery Reconditioning program
      3. Use those reconditioned batteries in your battery bank 2) Industrial or Forklift Batteries A battery bank that uses one or more industrial batteries follows the opposite philosophy of a golf cart battery bank. Instead of relying on multiple strings of smaller batteries, you use a few or even one battery to store all of your energy.Because these batteries aren’t usually manufactured to standard dimensions, you will have to have one made that is just right for your needs.Or you can try to find an old industrial or forklift battery that’s the correct size for your system and use that.Like golf cart batteries, there are sometimes ways to get free or cheap forklift batteries.One way is to call up or visit industrial companies and see if they have old or “dead” forklift batteries. Offer to dispose of it for them or pay them a little bit. If they agree, you can then recondition the battery and use it instead buying a new pricey industrial battery.But if you choose to get a new custom made battery instead, you should expect to pay quite a bit. But the good news is these types of batteries are typically built to last 15 to 20 years.Other thing to consider are:
      • These bigger batteries will be heavier and more difficult to move around.
      • There may be advancements in battery technology that could make the battery obsolete in years to come.But if you don’t mind making a significant investment upfront (anywhere from $2,000 to $10,00) and are alright with spending time keeping your batteries in top condition, then industrial batteries might be right for you.3) L16 Batteries If you want batteries that have a little more capacity than golf cart batteries but don’t want to spend on industrial batteries, L16 batteries are a good middle ground.These flooded lead-acid batteries were originally designed for supermarket floor scrubbers.The good thing with these batteries is that they last a bit longer than golf cart batteries – about six to eight years. However, they are often twice as heavy and the 6-volt models can be twice as expensive. Conclusion Different homes will have different power requirement and will need battery banks that are sized accordingly.If you build a battery bank using any of the three batteries mentioned above, you should be able to create a battery bank that is just right for your needs.There are some exciting new developments in the battery world for alternative energy. These new products should be entering the market over the next couple years, like the lithium ion Tesla Powerwall. But at this time, our three favorite batteries for residential off-grid, alternative energy systems are golf cart batteries, L16 batteries, and industrial batteries.And if you’re interested in saving money on your battery bank, you can use the EZ Battery Reconditioning program to learn how to:
      1. Get old or “dead” golf cart batteries, L16 batteries, or industrial batteries for free or dirt cheap
      2. Recondition them back to 100% of their working condition
      3. Use those “like-new” batteries instead of buying new overpriced batteries to save a lot of money!Good luck with your battery bank! And Happy Battery Reconditioning!
