Wrenches,
My first (and largest at 48 kW-hr) Blue Ion LiFP installation has been
in operation for about 9 months. The client is happy with the batteries'
performance. However, he recently sent me the following question:
Have you heard anything about the Blue Ion batteries generating an
odor? We have had an odor in the barn ever since the batteries went
in. It is a subtle, slightly rotten smell. We have searched for
dead mice and other such things and have found nothing. The
correlation with the battery installation is starting to become more
important. Since we use the barn for a number of things (including
guest sleeping and Susan sewing), this is a non-trivial issue. I
don't know if you have much sense of smell, so we don't expect you
to come over an sniff. I would like to know if you have heard of
anyone else observing this.
I haven't heard of any such issue but offered to post his query here.
Has anyone else among us heard of a "subtle, slightly rotten smell" from
a Blue Ion installation?
Thanks, Allan
