[RE-wrenches] 60 Amp PV breaker tripping

[Kristopher Schmid]

No recent changes, Jay.  System has been installed since 2009.
16 Kyocera KD180
Wattsun tracker
Xantrex XW4548
Xantrex XW MPPT60-150
24 L16s (very tired but surviving)

Could the old batteries cause the CC to pull too much PV current?  Even at
1.25 times the Isc of my strings, i should only be pulling 41.75A maximum.
