Yes, 7 or so years ago we ordered a set of 4KS-25PS Surrettes. These
are 4V, 2 cells in one poly case. One had a resting voltage of 0.05.
Turns out one cell was installed in reverse inside the case. We
removed the two cells from their red poly case and wired them up to
allow full 24V until a replacement arrived. James Surrette made it
right for us, but it was embarrassing for us. <br>

take the markings on the terminals of batteries for granted.....we
were installing a brand new bank of 2V 2400Ah batteries today and
had one battery mis labeled direct from the manufacturer......had
the potential to be catastrophic, just so happened that luck was
on our side.......I will not be relying on the manufacturer's
polarity markings any more.......<br>
