[RE-wrenches] Aquion Batteries

[John Blittersdorf]

Awhile back, it was mentioned that missmatched cell voltages could be
corrected with a 6 volt charger attached to each low layer.  I tried this
on one and it worked.  I have several stacks that have mostly even voltages
with one cell over charged.  Often 8 to 25 volts.  Some showed the high
voltage layer when under charge but looked normal when static.  Others had
the high voltage even when static.  Are these layers just totally defective
or could the voltage be bled off somehow down to the average.  Has anyone
tried this.  I have three  customers with Aquions that are working well and
staying balanced.  This customer has 24 batteries and 13 show this problem.
Capacity of the bank is very poor.  Customer is ready to call lawyer!  Any
ideas?
Tump, yes these include the batteries from Maine but also half of his
original 12 are showing the same problem.

PS Also any feedback on the Simpliphi batteries would be appreciated.  I
have just two systems using these so far.   Both small.  2  48 v and 5  24v.
