<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Eric,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Sounded like bad batteries to
me also (I think he called in this AM). He has (2) XW6048 units that are
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">capable of 200ADC between them, and
he also has 1260Ah of flooded capacity. DC Start V is set for 46.5V, so
if we assume he was close to 50% </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">discharge (depending on load), it should
take almost 2 hours to reach the bulk voltage (80% replaced). His batteries
were ramping up to bulk </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">in just a couple of minutes, meaning
the batteries were not absorbing the charge. I have heard varying opinions
on the symptoms of sulfation, </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">but it does sound like a battery issue
(5 yrs old). He was advised to equalize to try and recover them (he has
never done this), or replace them.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Rgds,</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">I read through the archives on the XW AGS
thread but have a query on behalf of a customer with an SW AGS issue. I'm
heading out to the remote site tomorrow and would like, if possible, to
show up knowing what I might be up against.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">The customer recently replaced his AGS for
his two SW 6048s and then upgraded his firmware a week later. He reported
that his problem with the AGS began after firmware upgrade. Here's the
particular issue:</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">AGS will try to start the 15.8kW Multi-Quip
genny due to low battery voltage (event 306 DCV start). After about 5 minutes
the AGS will stop the genny due to battery absorption level reached (event
313 ABS stop). The AGS will go through this event 306/313 cycle on and
off until the homeowner shuts down the AGS. To me this sounds like bad
batteries. But, the homeowner says this cycling does not occur when he
manually starts the generator. This doesn't sound like a complicated problem
but so far I'm unfamiliar with the SW AGS. So, I would greatly appreciate
any insight you guys can offer me.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Thanks!!</font>
