[RE-wrenches] Five L16s in a 24V string?

[Brian Teitelbaum]

But boB…



Wouldn’t you end up with a bi-polar battery bank?



Or just a bi-polar installer?



Seriously though, I have never seen such a thing either in my 30+ years of
working with battery systems. It’s kind of like using an L16 as the last
battery on a string of golf-cart batteries. Yes, it would go through
less-deep discharges than the smaller batteries, but would it last longer?
These folks seem to think so. Interesting idea, but not sure that they
really gain anything for the extra cost.

I would think that doing this would be asking for un-balanced batteries in
the string (un-equal battery voltage)

But I guess I can't argue with success ?

Put the positive battery in the middle then so it won't be on the end ?
