August, if there is an attic underneath, we’ve dropped down through with a
SolaDeck and popped back up through another one. It’s a little expensive but
there’s nothing to trip on and looks good. Labor is probably comparable to
running conduit.

If you have attic access between the two roofs or separated arrays then install
a Soladeck at each array and run the interconnecting wires thru the attic. If
it is a DC circuit then Teck cable, or AC90 would be my choice of (armoured)
cable for running through the attic.

Hello Wrenches,
I have had a number of customers with Trojan L-16s have problems
lately. In some cases, I know that the batteries weren't very well
cared for, but in no case were the batteries totally discharged and
let get cold or sit for a long time. It doesn't seem that the
batteries shoul
Oh I'm going to risk the wrath of Trojan and others, but I can confirm
issues with the Trojan L16 having premature cell failures within a
couple of years just as you reported. We use the T105 RE and have not
had problems, but stay away from their L16 line. I otherwise do not
know or understan
It does not bode well that Trojan is currently back ordered on at least
some AGM batteries until October in order for them to address issues on
their manufacturing line.

What size are the banks are are they series/paralleled across the terminals?
That can cause one or more cells to fail, generally starting on the negative
terminal. The set that failed on me was series/parallel across the terminals,
old school, and the cell closest to the main negative overheat

The system I am complaining about was eight L-16s in series. This should
have been the best case scenario.

Yep, big time problems here. I installed a group of 8 L-16s for a little
old lady and her partner and I had multiple failures. I replaced two and
then all 8. The new ones have been in two days and are supposedly working
better.
Trojan denied any compensation for the three trips at 4
Hi Ray
Would that be random dead cells?

Yes, it seems to be random. The idea that the failures are caused by
the wiring or maintenance or anything on the user/ installer side is
ludicris.
I will also second William's comments that Trojan has been less than
helpful, and if you're one month past the 2 year warranty: forget about it.
