Hi all
Where's the Spam? I'm hungry
The old 30 watt Inergy panels died over the summer, 4 years old. The 80
Watt Photowatts
are doing great.
Any way, I am done with the Wal-Mart deep cycle batteries for my 24 volt
system.
They never seem to equalize the same, one battery shorting a cell within 6
months.
Water level fine, equalizing volts right.
Warranty issues haven't been a problem, just bring in the bad battery for
replacement.
But Gee, the other one is kinda old now and I have to wait for that to fail
too.
I have to admit to taking them a bit deep down the dischare depth. That's my
fault.
A little Outback adjustment needed on the LVD.
This has been the pattern for a while and I am finally ready to listen about
high quality
batteries more suited to Solar, not RVs'
I have seen Interstate T-105's crap out on our auto-scrubbers at work so
that
scares me.
We had a lady in her power chair get stranded by her MKs'
So I am looking at either 4-Trogen T105s, L16s' if I can lift them.
Or pehaps 2 Concord PVX-2120Ls' if I can afford it and find help lifting
them.
The Surrets look nice too.
I need around 5400 W/hrs capacity that the Walmarts provided from time to
time.
Thanks for any help, I know the lurkers are curious too.
