Not even a week, I can tell.
Except for brand new batteries where balancers were added at first run, then it happens faster.
Thanks Boss

Valid point. What if the op applied balancers on tubular battery bank ? I would prefer following certain steps before integrating a battery balancer on flooded batteries due to serious unequal SG per cells ! Cheer's

I didn't quite get what you said about using battery balancers with flooded batteries, the issues that may arise and how best to go about it.

Please clarify.

Kindly give more info:
Name/model of balancer used.
Type of batteries(flooded, gel, lifepo4 etc)
Voltage readings on the individual battery
How is the operation of the balancer, does it get warm while working?
Do u have a clamp meter? Check if it's even moving any current between batteries @all.

Balancer might be faulty.

agm long 12 200ah batts
3batss are in sync,..1 batt is usually 0.08v higher when charging...and slightly less when discharging about 0.2v
hvnt checked.wil chk and revert--though i dont think so
i have it moving current, small amps, -ve leg of bad batt is usually about 0.8amps to 1.2amps, while +ve leg is 0.2amps, other 3 batts usually hv 0.4 to 0.9amps moving through them.

intend to loadt test each battery, as i recently acquired a 100amps load tester, and also the led voltage display is on the way too, so can post pics of the voltage readings..instead of the manual meter reading i do

we are all interested, though i think the balancer sees a single 12v batt..n doesnt see each individual cell, so unless there is wide variation in SG, i dont see how it would be a problem to the balancer.
i just removed my desulphator and installed ha02 balancer to my fla bank. suprisingly all 4 batts were in sync, just 1 off by 0.01v, simply amazing..after almost 2 years

for me I don't know whether the desulphator works or it is just another snakeoil device. But for sure the Battery balancer surely works as intended as see my battery voltages before installation of the battery balancers and compare with my earlier picture taken after 1 week of use and my batteries are now getting to Four (4) years in use and with the current prices of new batteries they must last another useful 4 years at least oh grin

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by DUNKA(m): 12:44pm On Sep 09, 2018
For users using flooded batteries I would advise to get this battery
filler from Amazon or any other source.

Filling your batteries will be as easy as any thing as filler has an automatic cutoff once each cell is properly guagued it shuts off the flow.

A really handy equipment to have on hand as it very easy yo use.

It's working then. Give it some time and u may need to move the particular battery to another position in the series( check wire connections etc).

I was wondering where you were going with the whole SGs thingy before installing a balancer. One can never be too careful sha grin

All 12v nominal batteries are made up of 6 sets of 2v cells connected in series whether they are sealed or FLA. A balancer can only address issues common to all the cells and may not be of much use if a specific cell is drifting or weak vs. others in the same battery. This is one of the advantages of FLA in that one can check the state of each individual cell and apply corrective measures where required as well as the ability to perform equalizations and replace water.

Regardless, battery balancers are like the next best thing after sliced bread and they work wonders to keep series connected batteries in sync even under challenging usage conditions. I have used them with great success for both FLA and sealed batteries. They are best applied to a battery bank from day one before any issues or one battery getting weaker than the others comes up and I heartily recommend them to all and sundry.

Nothing more to add my brother. You have said it all. The ability to check the performances of each cell in a bank and apply equalisation charge when necessary is why FLA does it for me. Their rugged nature and relative longer life is why I will always pick them over AGM any day.

Happy new week to you my people....Please i am facing a serious challenges pulling out data from Itracer through RS485 to Raspberry Pi for online monitoring. I dont know if anyone in the house has successfully pulled out data from Itracer either to pvoutput or Emoncms. My troubleshooting knowledge in Linux is limited. Please any assistance will be highly appreciated.
This issue has been pending for few months back now.

While awaiting other comments, we "small system" users need to help each other! grin
The issue is the bigger the inverter the more likely the idle consumption ( take that as the energy the inverter use to run itself), so a smaller inverter may be better for your system. Also, if your energy need at any time will exceed 50% of the capacity of an inverter , you should rethink your energy use/ inverter size maths.
Note also:
1) 12v system needs a single 12v battery to work, 24v will need 2 at any given time.
2) Your 2 batts backup time is fairly the same minus idle consumption and cable loss for similar loads
3) Lower voltage systems need thicker cables for heavy loads compared to higher voltage systems on similar load.
4) Any future plans for expansion?

Also, if your energy need at any time will exceed 50% of the capacity of an inverter , you should rethink your energy use/ inverter size maths.
Note also:
1) 12v system needs a single 12v battery to work, 24v will need 2 at any given time.
2) Your 2 batts backup time is fairly the same minus idle consumption and cable loss for similar loads
3) Lower voltage systems need thicker cables for heavy loads compared to higher voltage systems on similar load.
4) Any future plans for expansion?
