I will be ending up with some large forklift batteries that will need to sit for about a year before they get significant use. I can set them up with a charge controller and generator but my preference is just get a good trickle charger and leave them plugged in. So good idea for the long term?. If so anyone recommend a model or brand?.

What are the battery capacity's ? 1000ah ? Trickle charge might be 10A, and you will need to add water.Powerfab top of pole PV mount (2) | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||

1050 Amp hour. 48 volt. They are readily accessible so checking water is not a major issue. It does get cold up at my place but my guess is the inevitable snow will insulate them from the worst of it.Comment
