BPS 3600 Watt Back Up Power System, 8 Wet Cell Batteries, Model# 3600-8WC

Item# 460012
Ultra-quiet extended run standby power system seamlessly transfers home or business electrical needs to the battery bank/inverter system during power outages. Delivers an instantaneous (4-6ms) transfer of power to support critical appliances and most computers for up to 144 hours (actual time dependent on wattage demand). When utility power is restored and stable, the BPS3600-8WC automatically switches back to utility power and recharges the battery bank. Also acts as a surge protector between grid power and appliances. Integrated inverter/charger also does not allow backfeeding to the utility power grid. Standby system is also capable of collecting power from alternative sources (solar arrays, wind turbines and power generators) for recharging. Delivers 30 Amps of 120V power. 2-year limited warranty requires a licensed electrician for installation and wiring. U.S.A. Standby Unit: Yes, Running Watts: 3,600, Amps: 30, Surge Watts: 7,500, Power (Volts): 120, Run Time (hrs.): 144, Extended Run: Yes, Battery Type: Wet cell, Batteries (qty.): 8, Rechargeable Battery Bank: Yes, Alternative Power Collection: Yes, Automatic Switch Back: Yes, Hardwired: Yes, Allows Backfeeding of Power: No, Works With Gas Generator: Yes, Solar Power Compatible: Yes, Dimensions L x W x H (in.): 41 1/2 x 36 x 32, Electrician Required: Yes 30 Amps @ 120V Can safely power appliances and computers Ultra-quiet operation Can connect Sentinel to gas generator to recharge batteries during extended outages Can be installed anywhere in home Can also be used with solar power (requires solar regulator and solar panel) We recommend the use of a trained professional for electric connections.

Staff Answer
1. You would need a charge controller with the solar panels or wind turbine.

2. The size controller would be determined by how many watts solar panels you use. Item #121070 is a 30 amp controller for up to 150 watts. Depending on how many panels you may need more than one controller.

3. The controller will keep the batteries from overcharging. That is their job.

4. You can use up to 3600 watts of panels. At 200 watts you would use 16 panels.
