My experience with Rolls (in significant part do to my relationship with Roy at RAE) has been mostly very positive. Of course I've read of the glories of HUP batteries on this list for years as well, but have always chosen to stick with Rolls. While I am watching and waiting for L-ion development/pricing to make sense for folks that don't have tons of expendable income, for various reasons I am interested in direct comparisons of Rolls vs. HUP batteries in terms of failure rates, pricing, maintenance, break-in periods, etc. Feel free to respond on or off list as seems appropriate.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>As always,TIA for whatever input you are willing to share!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Howie<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><b><span style='color:#783F04'>Howie Michaelson<br></span><span style='color:#6AA84F'>Sun Catcher</span></b><span style='color:#888888'><br></span><b><i><span style='font-size:7.5pt;color:blue'>NABCEP Certified Solar PV Installer\u2122<br></span></i><span style='color:#783F04'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1025" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1MQF8aTcFNnBR59ia5JAm1DsPHCxzNkPx&export=download"><br></span></b><b><i><span style='font-size:7.5pt;color:blue'>\u200b\u200b</span></i></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#444444;background:white'>Solar Electric Systems Sales & Service<br></span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#B45F06;background:white'>802-272-0004</span></b><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>On Fri, Jun 8, 2018 at 11:27 AM, Ray <<a href="mailto:ray@solarray.com" target="_blank">ray@solarray.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>HUP is made by Enersys.
