Advanced Power Products
Sun Xtender Batteries, from Advanced Power Products, are developed to offer lexibility when designing battery bank

layout and coniguration options for solar energy systems. Sun Xtender Batteries are constructed with valve-regulated
lead acid (VRLA) absorbed glass-mat (AGM) technology, for a non-spillable battery that’s maintenance-free. Thicker
plates than the industry standard are pasted with a high-density formula for excellent cycling capability, better loat
life, and extended battery life. Robust intercell connections are fusion-welded for increased strength and lower resist- Lufft USA, Inc.

Midnite Solar
Midnite Solar’s KID is currently one of the most ver-

satile, medium-sized, 30-amp MPPT charge control-
lers on the market. Ideal for small renewable energy
systems, the KID allows for true input paralleling.
As power needs grow, it’s possible to add more

modules to the array, and add on a second Kid.
