middle of the bank, but I have reconfigured the bank--everything seems fine, and
I am gently charging them vis a vis my PS2524 inverter/charger. If there
are any problems, I wil let you know, but I think they are charging okay
now.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

>>><BR>Dear folks:<BR><BR>I am installing a new set of sixteen
Surrette/Rolls S530 batteries in our<BR>home office system, and very quickly
discovered one battery mislabelled--the<BR>polarity is
reversed. There were no fireworks thank goodness, but be sure<BR>you
test each battery before you assume anything!<BR><BR>Chris Daum<BR>Oasis Montana
