[RE-wrenches] concord batteries, EQUALIZE Them!

[Richard L Ratico]

SMA specifically says they can go to 42V.
This is a link to the SI5048 Installation and Instruction Manual:

It is a 6 Meg. file.
See page 92.

Vaseline & lead. I have observed what may be lead oxide on battery terminals.
It's grey to black crud. Seen lots of it on lots of auto batteries over the
years. Car barely cranks,
remove cable from post, brush both well to restore shiny lead surface, coat
everything with vaseline, reassemble. Vehicle will often crank 100% better and
start. Vaseline prevents this problem from ever happening again.
Do not be concerned about getting it on mating surfaces. Is this starting to
sound like a pun? ....Nevermind :-)

v systems are done.
So I guess the Sunnyboy can go down to 42 V?
