NiCad Batteries [RE-wrenches]

[John Blittersdorf, Cent. VT Solar & Wind]

Jay,
    I just learned about using 19 instead of 20 but the DR manual says 19 is 
OK  but this is a 12 V system with two strings of 10 and they say not to go 
to 9.  Anyone had luck sawing these batteries apart?  Looks like nicads and 
12V systems are not compatible unless someone else has some ideas.  This 
system was set up with golf cart batteries originally and the owner took it 
upon herself to buy some used Nicads to get longer life.  Maybe I should 
trade with her my 8 Trojan L16's for her 20 nicads and keep the 20th one for 
a doorstop. 

Jeff W., this may be one of your customers as she lives only a few miles from 
you.  I got involved as she is a dear friend of one of my new employees and I 
had a repair to do nearby (another friend).
