John M asked:


i have built a makeshift backup lighting system for my house and would like to know what the best battery would be. i also plan to expand this system to power more equipment, maybe even the whole house. i am currently using 3 car batteries.also, where can i get good solar panels and a battery charger for them for a reasonable price?
i live in Pennsylvania and i am just in search of stuff for a backup system for 24-48 hours of runtime
jivepacketrat, i had the same idea, i had some old useless batteries that wouldn’t work right so i strung them together and a week later they were working fine.
