Hi,
?
I'm looking to see if anyone here has a preferred or a "go-to" type of battery that you use for your repeaters. I'm installing an SLR 5700 in a temperature-controlled room. How long do I need the repeater to run on batteries? That really depends on the price of each battery and how many I can afford to buy. I have been very satisfied with Echo-Worthy products on Amazon for other ham radio activities but not sure if they're the right choice for a repeater and also if they fit the SLR 5700 internal battery charger.?
?
Also, when you have batteries connected to a repeater for backup power, do you put any other components in between the battery and the repeater? Perhaps for overcharge or over-discharge protection:?
?
All suggestions and recommendations would be appreciated.?
