RDA Batteries
RDA batteries are industrial batteries used to power remote monitoring equipment, solar systems, and industrial telemetry. These batteries are made and distributed by RDA Solutions LLC, and they’re used in applications where the utility power is not available. The most common examples of use are the oil and gas well sites, pipeline monitoring systems, water and wastewater systems, and remote SCADA locations. In these cases, batteries are part of the solar systems where they’re used as the main energy storage component to keep the radios, sensors, and control systems running.
Most of them are 12v deep cycle batteries that are built to handle the repeated cycles of charge and discharge. Capacities can vary from as low as 8Ah, 26Ah, to large industrial batteries over 100Ah and beyond, depending on the load requirements and the size of the solar system. Usually, they’re used in systems together with solar panels and charge controllers. RDA batteries are used in remote power systems together with solar panels, charge controllers, and battery boxes or enclosures that can protect the batteries from harsh weather conditions.
FAQs
What are RDA batteries used for?
RDA batteries are used to store energy in off-grid and remote power systems, commonly supporting solar-powered SCADA equipment, telemetry radios, remote sensors, and industrial monitoring devices.
What types of batteries does RDA offer?
RDA batteries include AGM, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), and gel batteries, which are designed for deep-cycle operation in industrial solar and remote power applications.
What voltage are most RDA batteries?
Most RDA batteries used in industrial solar systems are 12-volt batteries, though they can be connected in series or parallel to create higher voltage or higher capacity battery banks.
What industries commonly use RDA batteries?
RDA batteries are widely used in oil and gas, water and wastewater utilities, power infrastructure, telecommunications, and remote industrial monitoring systems.
How long do RDA batteries last in solar systems?
Battery lifespan depends on the chemistry and operating conditions, but deep-cycle batteries used in solar systems typically last 3 to 10 years, depending on temperature, depth of discharge, and charging conditions.
