[RE-wrenches] concord batteries, EQUALIZE Them!

[Windsun@wind-sun.com]

You gotta wonder about why the customer bought such a battery layout, or why the installer sold that kind of configuration (which ever it was) with so many small batteries. We would never recommend going over 2 parallel banks, but sometimes the "customer knows best...".

  Then you can patch together one or two strings in effort to get the system in some sort of operational state while the owner digests that his $12,000 ($300 each x 40) battery is toast but even if you could fix it, it's just a bad band-aid and he needs to pony up another $8k-$12k for a real battery bank.

   

  Gotta go, good luck!
