An interesting thread, considering I returned last night after
installing a new set of Rolls Series 5000s to have the inverter shut off
as soon as I plugged my sawzall in to the customer's new system. 1 cell
was completely Dead (0 volts) and since I've been moving to single
strings to avoid paralleling, the system is inoperable. So what is the
current word on Rolls? I'm beginning to wonder, after reading everyones'
experiences with them.
What is a better battery? I sold Bulldogs and Exides before, and those
were all fork lift batteries without apologies. I found the Rolls easier
to install, and easier to get cycle life data on. I'm sure not going
back to L16s.
