<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>I
have 2 systems that I am trying to correct that another local dealer has
installed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>This
one is 2 strings of (8) UL-16 HC Interstate Batteries, 16 batteries total.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>We
cannot get the batteries to charge over 1.225 despite discharging them and
generator charging them till everything shut down.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>This
is a 48 volt system with a Magnum 4448 inverter.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>He
also has (6) 175 watt Solar World panels on a manual tracker. (spends all day
tracking the sun) He is adding 2 more this summer. The controller is an MX-60.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>I
have moved the Magnums settings to 1600 AH battery bank size to allow for the
inverter to have a longer absorb time to help it finish charging and get to a
full battery.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>It’s
not working; we have 1 cell at 1.240 and the rest at 1.225.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>These
have not been cycled hard if at all, I am going to suggest that he cycle them
several more times to see if anything improves after that<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>The
other system has the same problem with a different inverter! So it’s not
inverter related, but I am at a loss. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
