Now yer talkin'!
By observing trends & tendencies, you can play a battery bank like a pipe organ with one hand tied behind your back while watching a football playoff game (the other hand clutches a brewskie).
There has got to be a reason I get a dozen years out of a set of T-105's, twenty plus on 2-volt cells and a dozen years out of a car battery. I am less a slave to my battery banks than you can imagine. Glance at a meter and if it seems odd, determine within 30 seconds if there is a problem.
I just had a person I was trying to help blow a grand on some L-16's he did not need. I told him to test first, he did not, and now US Battery has his 11 crisp Franklins, he has batteries that can not be paralleled with his old Rolls batteries and is several days south of the border. Sure his home is 200 miles from here, but my testing would have saved him a chunk of change. Such is life. I'd hate to be the person in US Battery that would have to deal with his whining about the no return policy.
Hi-Tech is learning on a pretty steep ramp. When you stop learning, you start dying.
