<DIV>Hi Ron,</DIV>
<DIV>Have a look back a few months ago to the discussion about multiple battery
strings. My synopsis: large, parallel banks are not good; fewer strings are
always better. How large a bank are we talking about here?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Scientist?? That sounds kind of like “Yea, I been a ‘lectrician for XX
years...”, something I have heard hundreds of times. It’s just pride saying
“Look, I can pee that far too!” when in reality they are clueless about DC power
systems. I’m ranting but my point is you should convince your customer that a
hands-on, real world experienced professional has a much broader understanding
of RE system intricacies than a “scientist”.</DIV>

Larry,
<DIV>Client has asked me to compare the cycle life because he is upgrading a
large battery bank and has been convinced by a Xantrex "scientist" that golf
cart batteries are superior to L-16's even though it involves twice as many
batteries, connections, cells, footprint etc. So to convince his purchasing
committee he wants to know the difference in cycle life between a U.S.B 208 and
a Surrette S-460.</DIV>
