HI All,

A guy has 1/2 loaded his big surrette 24v battery,  yep put 12v loads  
onto only one side of the 24v battery.

Now after 2 yrs 12v side is low voltage, 24v side is boiling like crazy.


System is charged via SW4024, big genny and good size array.

so my question is can/should I

1. remove the 12v by installing a Vanner or similar.

2. put a 12v charger onto the lower 12v side to put an equal charge  
into the batteries.
( I have never had success trying to charge up a highly unbalanced  
battery)


thanks,

jay
