Need 12V, 50Ah or less. I have been using a MK Battery M22NF Gel for a couple years. I would like to move to something more compact and lighter weight with a form factor that is specific to my application. I would like the battery pack to be flat, like a brownie baking pan, it can be approximately 20” x 20” x 2”.
I have not built a battery before so this would be my first foray. I would re-use my Renogy Wanderer 10A controller and 100W HQST-100P solar panel. I have a mechanical engineering degree and love tinkering so I believe I am capable. Just looking for some direction and assistance collecting parts.
I want to make this as low cost as possible but still meet my footprint goal. I could definitely reduce the Ah capacity if necessary but would like to get 50 as my starting point.
Thanks in advance for your help. Ask away if you have any questions before responding.
