    <p>I&#39;ve been on hold with OB for about 40 minutes now and I need to
      know if 2 SW PVs with a Voc of 39.9 and a Vmpp of 31.3 will do an
      effective job of charging a 48 volt LA battery especially with
      temps of 95 degrees.  Anybody have experience with this or
      similar,  Appreciate the feedback.  It just seems I&#39;m a little low
      in Vmpp if I want to equalize when its hot.  Will it be even more
      questionable in 10 years as PVs age?<br>
