    Bloated Cells after failed 300A DCC Contactor.

    Bloated Cells after failed 300A DCC Contactor.

    MPP Solar PIP3024GK 24v with only 500w of panels.

    MPP Solar PIP3024GK 24v with only 500w of panels.

    Thanks kindly for the reply, I really appreciate it. I was considering replacing the fans with some silent PC fans ( have a bunch of expensive silent fans ). Where would you recommend to buy other than Ali? I guess I should mention that I'm located in Australia.
