[RE-wrenches] Frozen T-105s

[Feather River Solar Electric]

Hey Folks,

         I came across an off-gridder yesterday whom was getting zero 
support from the dealer he had purchased his small system from, self 
installed, batteries in a lightly insulated box outside.  When I 
inspected the electrolyte levels I discovered it was frozen in some 
cells, the voltage of the 48 volt pack was ~8 volts, I didn't check 
individual batteries due to these facts...I'd seen "enough". Recently 
temps have been in the high teens, though we are back up to low 30's.

         He does not have a genny or battery charger! I have a DC genny 
which I could use to charge these batteries but should I waste my time 
and his money trying to save them?  Others' experience with this situation?

TIA,

Bill
