Trojan Solar SAES-06-315 LT 285Ah 6V Off-Grid Solar & Renewable Energy Battery

Trojan's SAES-06-315 features proprietary Advanced Energy Storage (AES) technology delivering up to 3x the cycle life of standard AGM batteries—validated at 1,200 cycles at 100% depth of discharge versus 400 cycles for conventional AGM. The "S" in SAES stands for Solar—this high-capacity 6V maintenance-free sealed AGM battery is specifically engineered to handle the unpredictable charging patterns that solar and wind systems create. It thrives in Partial State of Charge (PSoC) conditions when cloudy weather prevents full daily recharging or when systems experience deep overnight discharges. Its non-spillable VRLA construction allows horizontal mounting in challenging locations and operates in extreme temperatures from -40°F to 160°F (-40°C to 71°C). The sealed AGM design requires zero maintenance—no watering, no hassle—making it ideal for large-scale off-grid installations where service access is impractical. With 285Ah capacity and approximately 1.71 kWh total energy output, the SAES-06-315 delivers exceptional energy storage and proven reliability with an 8 year IEC 61427 life rating for residential off-grid homes, commercial facilities, telecommunications infrastructure, marine vessels, premium RVs, and renewable energy applications requiring maximum capacity with minimal maintenance.
