You can certainly ground them and call it a day, but personally I'd want to explain it. I'd start by creating the same rod structure with no cells in them and see if anything builds up. Follow up with cells in between, but nothing connected. Keep going until the phenomenon occurs.
While I haven't tested the voltages of the rods in my system, I touch them all the time without being electrocuted. I'm sure others here have as well -- so we're all very curious what your circumstances are so the rest of us can benefit from this knowledge and prevent similar issues.
Thanks!
Yes, I can and will do this.
I need to rebuild the cells as I need to shuffle the 152Ah cells.
Some on the lower section have "delicate" threads... I used them too often with bolts ;-(
I already tried to fix one with helicoil, that didn't work out, At ALL!
The thread cutting rod have a 3mm tapered end, smaller.
You have just 3.5 mm of the 6.5mm left, as the first 3 mm don't get thread.
I know there are more expensive kits that uses 3 or 5 different rods to make thread, they have almost no loss.
I didn't have them.
Long story short, 2 components epoxy is now the base for the threaded terminal on that cell.
As understandable, I need that cell on top, so I can more easily attach the bus-bar with alternative method.
Threaded rods/bolts aren't the only system to make good (or good enough) contact.
As result, all cells are removed, and the whole setup is done again.
One thing that I will do different,that probably might solve the issue, is to better seal the bus-bars.
They are now mostly blank, no shrink wrap.
I also probably will use tube around the rods to prevent issues.
If the electricity charging issue still occur, it's for sure magnetic, EMF.
If it doesn't, it was leaking.
It's not possible for me to just make test setup.
Changing the batteries takes two or three days for me.
(80 cells!)
My personal energy is limited due medical conditions.
I was happy to have the power back up and running with just the 280Ah connected, after countering the thread issues with the 152ah's.
That took me 8 days to build.
During daytime we have electricity, the Revo II can work without battery.
After 16.30... no electricity till 09.00
Doable, not ideal.
