<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I concur with the other writers. They have low charge efficiency, Although that is not a killer. the voltages are as David says, but the discharge drops below 1.2 volts with surges. I have heard of a battery fire with one set, perhaps it was due to low water as David suggest. They seem to need a lot of water, The only special value is they do not freeze. However the output current drops when cold. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Nov 21, 2018 at 12:35 PM <<a href="mailto:dan@foxfire-energy.com">dan@foxfire-energy.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000000;font-size:10pt"><div>Hi Guys, I have a potential customer inquiring about installing a pre packaged Iron Edison system..
