Check them to see if they hold a charge after a few days to determine if they will still work . Distilled water is...

    Off grid battery connections

    Either connect at buss bar with inverter and mppt connections. Or connect to back end of battery bank (x4).reason for thinking of it is understanding how power can come in and go out on same stud and charge at same time . My mind says it cant work . May not be correct but sounds good?
