<div><div dir="auto">Hi Drake,</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">About a year ago I inherited two different off-grid customers with existing/ failing Aquion battery banks. Higher discharge rate seemed to be the prognosis. One system had 12 batteries and only 4 could hold under load. Both battery banks eventually had to be replaced with LFP batteries and the customers are much happier now. Unfortunately, my experiences with Aquion have been negative and I would not suggest using them. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Chris </div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Aug 5, 2020 at 10:22 PM Jay <<a href="mailto:jay.peltz@gmail.com">jay.peltz@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="ltr">Hi Drake,</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Unfortunately yes this is becoming a common problem </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">And worse there is really nothing you can do.
