Emerson T series 1000 amp 2 volt batteries

Sounds like a 6 month test cycle, ..... or maybe 4 month?
The manuals for mine were a yearly 'hard depletion' test down to 10V.

I will ring Kurt today Westbranch and see if he has come up with any hard facts.

we just arrived at the cabin, Wife pleased that her sweet pea plant and Basil are still alive inside in a sunny spot...

Rule1, ;; keep the cook happy.'' .....

Then she hits me with ''how is my battery doing'' ....drum roll as Grahams Android app start,

"Are you on  my favorite page?''  Yes dear ( reverently)

Rule 2 "Don't piss off the cook!!"   

Well we were at 27.0 V after the inverter kicked in and the wifi , bridge and Sat modem powered up, plus fridge kicking on (it's still running ) 2 1/2 hrs later and the battery is stable again at it's sweet spot of 25.0V

Sooooooooooooo, West, the solar system is actually the wife's and not yours???

Wellllll, if doing all the work and thinking about what might squeeze more power out of an undersized array till next year doesn't count I guess it is hers... however  I started her training early.... she blew the only 60A fuse on the 600W 12V inverter in the old place    .... "Well it ran the fan so why  not the Vacuumn?   AND I'm NOT finished"

Ha ha, my wife is trained up a bit now and switches standalone to grid when using chip fryer or the like.
But in all fairness if it is during the day the inverter and batteries/panels cope with ease.
Just a good habit to get into while it is possible.
Plus she checks the batteries % on the regs as well.
I am lucky she is not air-headed about the setup!
But loosing power regularly in summer makes "she who must be obeyed" aware of the safety/security the standalone
gives us.
