Good afternoon to all, quick thanks to everyone who has been following my threads.
So i have equalized each battery for a good 8 hours until they stopped improving and the results aren't very promising.
Battery one:
1.235
1.235
1.235
1.235
1.218
1.218
Battery Two:
1.218
1.235
1.208
1.208
1.208
1.208
Battery three:
1.208
1.235
1.235
1.235
1.208
1.235
Battery 4 still has a dead cell and i am still fighting with the company to get it replaced under warranty. They are trying to tell me that since i opened the cells to check the water the warranty isnt valid anymore which seems like some BS to me. Anyway i think that all of the other batteries look like they are in bad shape aswell. I am looking for recommendation on what to do? I recently found out that if i make the connection to the grid with a private company and not the public service it will be alot cheaper because i can put the cables underground while the public company wants me to pay for posts. The cost of connecting to the grid will be alot less then getting new batteries and then my bill will be around $3USD every two months. I am thinking to connect to the grid and for the mean time to use my system as it is and just unplug my fridge in the evening. What is the best way to use my battery when i have one dead battery. I was recommened to changing my CV and CC voltages down to adjust for the dead battery. I also have a HA02 battery equalizer should i connect it to all 4 batteries or just the 3 good batteries?
