Hello wrenches, I am looking for guidance with charging setpoints for a battery that I don't have experience with. This system was put in by another solar company and this battery bank failed after 1.5 years. He bought these batteries without consulting us, but now we are stuck with them. It is a Deka Intimidator Gel Sealed Battery 12V 225 Ahr. It is set up as 3 strings of 4 batteries to give a 675Ahr bank at 48V. The batteries were not wired at opposite corners, but inverter/charger leads were connected to the middle string. We will fix that and other things but I don't use Deka batteries. What charger setpoints would you recommend for this battery bank? Does anyone have a good tech contact at Deka? Anyone have any results to report about this type of battery in a solar application?
Thanks in advance -- Mac Lewis * "Yo solo sé que no sé nada." -Sócrates *
