I don't have the money to just throw at this problem, and wouldn't if I did. If they want to warranty them great, if not I'm just gonna run them till a cell shorts out or they just cannot produce 30 amp hours overnight.
I hardly think that pushing a couple buttons to raise the solar voltage setpoints well above the schumacher's max voltage to try an equalization cycle wasn't worth the minimal effort of at least trying.
Crawling inside my cabinet and removing a hatch to check water and electrolyte is a PITA, but no way around that.
The problem can be entirely solved by never looking at my battery monitor again, and just replacing the batteries when for some inexplicable reason they can't run my fridge overnight, but that's not gonna happen either.
I personally have never seen a case where a battery recovered from even a small portion of exposed plates and my own is no different.
While the last two months have been pretty hot around here, it is nothing like what the rest of the country dealt with this summer. Coastal San Diego is a mild climate. I did ask Bluesky if it were possible to add a temp sensor capability to my 2512i, but the response I got said that the 2512ix has a temp sensor capability.
They did not drop below 12.1 last night after removing 56 A/h. They have some life left in them.
