<p>Wrenches,</p>
<p>My first (and largest at 48 kW-hr) Blue Ion LiFP installation has
been in operation for about 9 months. The client is happy with the
batteries' performance. However, he recently sent me the following
question:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Have you heard anything about the Blue Ion batteries generating
an odor? We have had an odor in the barn ever since the
batteries went in. It is a subtle, slightly rotten smell. We
have searched for dead mice and other such things and have found
nothing. The correlation with the battery installation is
starting to become more important. Since we use the barn for a
number of things (including guest sleeping and Susan sewing),
this is a non-trivial issue. I don't know if you have much
sense of smell, so we don't expect you to come over an sniff. I
would like to know if you have heard of anyone else observing
this.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I haven't heard of any such issue but offered to post his query
here. Has anyone else among us heard of a "subtle, slightly rotten
smell" from a Blue Ion installation?</p>
<p>Thanks, Allan</p>
