Sirs,
Originally I had a 24V UPS that lights up my home with 2x200 Ah tublar flooded batteries hooked up in series (24v). Those batteries are about 8 months old. Now I installed a 6x545w PV solar system with 60A MUST controller/charger plus 2 more 200Ah batteries in series with the old ones to give me (48v). I've noticed that the new ones charge at 14.5-15v & the old ones charge to 12.4-12.8v only? All batteries in series (48v) charging at 10A from the controller & the inverter when power from electric company available.
Is there a way to make all batteries equalize at same voltages knowing that my inverter has an equalization button in which I did perform equalization for 30 minutes only, but still they read: -
Old batteries 12.4 & 12v
New batteries: 14.2 & 15v
Please can anyone help & direct to how can I make all 4 batteries voltages equal & how?
