  • Post in thread: Probl

    So this is my understanding. I need more solar and I could get 3 more panels of the same kind tie them in parallel then series and I should be fine. I am going to keep the other battery because I have already paid for it.

    100ah 48v server rack battery won’t turn on after someone (my grandmother, 85) spilled water on it. She “cleaned it up” I didn’t know till the next day. I work up to it being off and not tripped. Not sure if I can even save it.
