On April 27 I ordered a 24V set of 2V Surrette L16 FLAs for a long time client; note that these were the client's choice after his extensive research. The lead time was estimated at 10-12 weeks. Today I got the news that the distribution center in Reno had not placed the order, as collective orders for Rolls batteries were so slow during Covid that they hadn't wanted to ship just one set. <o:p></o:p></p><p>I was told that they had a set in the Reno warehouse that they could bring to Albuquerque that had a manufacture date of 6/26/2019. I was told that at rest the 12 cells showed an average resting voltage of 2.14 vpc, with the highest at 2.18V and the lowest at 2.08V.<o:p></o:p></p><p>I was offered them at a discount of ~18% off of my dealer cost.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Should I have any hesitation about accepting and installing a set that has sat at rest for nearly a year? The alternative is to start over with the 10-12 week lead time, unless we can arrange a rush delivery. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Opinions welcome here, please.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Allan<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><b>Allan Sindelar</b><br><a href="mailto:allan@sindelarsolar.com"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>allan@sindelarsolar.com</span></a><br><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional (charter certificant) #102503-52 <br>New Mexico EE98J Journeyman Electrician<br>Founder (Retired), Positive Energy, Inc<span class=grame>.</span><br><b>505 780-2738 cell</b></span> <span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
