Hi all~!
Im new here but not that new to solar. My wife and I have built own off grid home in Wyoming and we power it with a 2400W system
We are pretty very happy with our system except our batteries which we are pretty disappointed with. we have 8x 6 v 200 amp hr amg batteries and feel we have lost a lot of performance over the 3 years we have been running the system.
I am looking at upgrading to LIfe batteries. and was thinking about buying 8 of the Valence u27 batteries while. My questions are. 1 is there any problem with storing the valence batters for a year or 2 until our Lead acid batters really croak?
and secondly will my midnight controller work with these?
thirdly do I need an external BMS for these in addition to the one that I believe is built in to each battery.
I would truly appreciate any help our advice!
Thanks so much!
