Batteries to Grant in October 2022 in Pahrump, NV

Homes On Wheels Alliance has had the good fortune to receive a few 100AH Deep Cycle AGM Batteries to grant to Nomads who can’t afford one.  These batteries are worth $140 each.  They will be granted to vehicle residents who have an immediate need for a 100AH Deep Cycle AGM Battery to store the electrical power generated by their current solar system.  The donors’ intent is that the batteries go to those in financial need who live out of their vehicles.

The batteries were sourced from Amazon at https://amzn.to/3T57hOs.  Go to this page to see more details.  All batteries remain in their unopened boxes, shipped during the last week of September 2022.

  • Have an immediate need for a 100AH Deep Cycle AGM Battery, AND
  • Are unable to afford $140 for a new 100AH Deep Cycle AGM Battery, AND
