    LifePO4 batteries - what is your cutoff voltage?

    One of my Longi 540w/72 is emitting a buzzing noise in sunlight mid day, detectable from 10m away. All others seem to be silent. Sign of a faulty panel? I have the correct volts/watts from that 9-piece array. I have 4 spares, should I swap it? These are also newly delivered so I have warranty...
