Hi Drake The first thing I would look at is how the batteries are being charged... Can they even be charged by the present equipment? What is the Bulk/Absorb voltage and time? Equally important is the design of the bank... series or series/parallel and if parallel how many strings. Lastly which Trojan L-16 are these?

I have heard that there have been some complaints about the L-16s lately. Has anyone had experiences with Trojan L-16s (or the RE series), good or bad? Are they still a good choice to use in off grid systems?
