robust battery [RE-wrenches]

Both the HUP Solar One and The Surrette 5000 Series are "robust" enough
batteries but still parallel strings are a pretty bad deal. There is no way
electrically induce two strings of batteries (in parallel) to accept a
charge equally. Eventually you will always wind up with one lazy string and
one strong string and then sooner or later you get "bad" cells on the lazy
string because you cannot equalize the lazy string any longer.

Kind regards

Tom

Hello

I have a client who will be building a castle off grid. Is their a
recommendation for a industrial grade battery bank for their needs.  We will
have a 4000 Sq ft home with a 2000 Sq ft guest home with garage. Well pump,
pool, convection ovens and oodles of other stuff they haven't engaged me on
to date. It will probably be an 8KW PV system for starters. The last project
I used L-16's, but feel I need a more robust battery bank for these ever
expanding clients' energy dreams.
