Review on a Dead TUBULAR battery

Installing a Turbular battery requires the right set of equipments.
The inverter: (To program properly bulk, float and Equalization) Equalization Charges
Batteries should be equalized occasionally to make sure each cell is equally charged. At least once every 30-90 days, or whenever individual batteries are imbalanced (reading a different voltage or specific gravity).
The Battery Cables: To help the batteries stay connected and to move current from one to the other freely
Distilled Water: Turbular batteries lose water during the charge cycle. They must be refilled regularly with distilled water to function properly and stay healthy.
Brush and baking soda: You need this in cases of battery corrosion, clean corrosion brush and a solution of baking soda and water.
Hydrometer: To check the battery Specific gravity
Also very important is the room where the batteries are installed, Turbular Batteries can loose their strength due to high temperature
In this video I shared my thoughts on a Battery that went bad due to lack of proper management.

Well done man. Good job you’re doing! Kudos 💪🏾🙏🏼

Thank you

Oga there are principles. He can actually use tiny cables if they are pure copper. You did not specify if it's copper or not. 2. The higher voltage you go the lesser the size of cable you actually need. The higher Amps you go the ticker the cable at that point you can go for 12awg if u are running higher Amps. From what I have seen, apart from the maintenance factor which has to do with the owner of the system, there is nothing bad with the cables he used or the connection.

If cables were the issue they would have shown heating /melting signs. Cable size or quality is fine. I think the problem is the dod was repeatedly romanced without maintainance

Thank you for this

You're welcome

This is terrible. Judging from the way the cables are coiled, an electrician did the terrible installation which led to the death of the batteries. I think we need to have a regulatory body to certify professionals. So many sad solar stories out there.

I totally agree
