Battery Life in Grid-Tie Systems [RE-wrenches]

[Carl Emerson, Free Power Ltd.]

Hi there,

Following on from the original question...

I just checked a bank of Trojan L16's that have been in service on a 
grid-tie installation for two years.

They have hydrocaps and have never needed watering.

I have instructed the client to disconnect the grid for a day every few 
months to give the bank something to do and thereby extend the life of 
the bank.

The question I have is will the bank which is 99% in float mode require 
equalization as well as regular cycling ??

Your thoughts...
