Hey Folks,<br>
<br>
I came across an off-gridder yesterday whom was getting zero
support from the dealer he had purchased his small system from, self
installed, batteries in a lightly insulated box outside. When I
inspected the electrolyte levels I discovered it was frozen in some
cells, the voltage of the 48 volt pack was ~8 volts, I didn't check
individual batteries due to these facts...I'd seen "enough".
Recently temps have been in the high teens, though we are back up to
low 30's.<br>
<br>
He does not have a genny or battery charger! I have a DC
genny which I could use to charge these batteries but should I waste
my time and his money trying to save them? Others' experience with
this situation?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
<br>
Bill<br>
