[RE-wrenches] Trojan L-16s

[Eric.Bentsen at schneider-electric.com]

Hi Drake,
The L16 is quite popular in RE apps...but they typically require a bit 
higher charge voltage to reach the correct SOC than their shorter 
counterparts (i.e. T105 golf cart),
because they are a taller battery (stands to reason .....specific 
"gravity"). Make sure they are in a vented enclosure if off-gassing will 
be an issue.

Hello Wrenches,

A 1 1/2 year old bank of Trojan L-16s had a battery with a dead cell. I 
have heard that there have been some complaints about the L-16s lately. 
Has anyone had experiences with Trojan L-16s (or the RE series), good or 
bad?  Are they still a good choice to use in off grid systems?

Thanks,

Drake
