I'm in a position of being able to get a NiCad battery to the tune of 1000 amp hour capacity. Currently I'm using lead acid types.
Question I have is does anybody know the suitability of NiCads for off grid applications using wind and solar for charging?
What special requirements are there?
What about "memory" of these batteries and how do you go about maintaining them.
Though I can get these batteries for free disposing of them will cost me if they don't work out.
On the flip side I can also get lead-acid 8D type batteries for free.
Which would be a better choice?
Thanks for any help and advice,
Hank
