Just bringing this to the top of the topics as a new thread...
I just got the right timing to do an SG test on all the cells. I put this into a spreadsheet, I attached a screenshot of my results. It appears to me that bank 1, battery 7 has 2 cells that are misbehaving.
I sent this info to Trojan support, and this was the response...
"Here is a situation where you would need a power supply that would allow you to only charge one battery or two in the string to bring the gravity up in the two low cells."
I have some understanding of what he is saying, but I am not sure of how to properly go about this since I am not grid tied and this is my primary source of power for our household.
Any suggestions on how I should proceed?
for informational purposes, I have 2 banks, 8 batteries each, 48 volt. Classic 200 midnight controller, Magnum inverter.
I have a backup generator that I could connect a battery charger to and run that dedicated to charging this one battery. But not sure what kind of battery charger to get, battery charging settings or how long to charge for?
I'm guessing, from other posts I have read, that disconnecting one bank of 8 with the questionable battery, and running with half the capacity for the house will be necessary. Would I need to make changes to the Classic 200 settings to accommodate the lessened capacity for this period of time?
Thank you for any help.
