[RE-wrenches] Query re Blue Ion smell

[Sindelar Solar]

Wrenches,

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:

    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.

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?

Thanks, Allan
