Wow! So this is the face of the guy that rejected a LADIES proposal? Wow!

Charly boy mumu Don do o

That can't be the officer's skull. The report says he was killed on 25th of December last year, and that's a few days ago. Anyhow, let justice be served.

Very valid points.

But the man has purchased what he was able to and now it's left to derive maximum value from the purchase.

I too do not really like 2v and I'm getting increasingly disillusioned with 6v flooded batteries too. Give me a solid 12v AGM any day and it keeps everything simple.

In this specific case, the OP's bank is equivalent to 2.5 standard 12v 200ah batteries - a decent battery bank and altogether not bad at all as an entry level system.

I can confirm that JUO's 12v ICellPower inverter will do 50amps charging without stress. I recommended it ahead of MustPower because of the lighter footprint and the ICellPower is also at least 10k cheaper - MustPower's have higher idle consumption which will drain the battery unnecessarily.

All in all, the OP will be quite happy with his 2v batteries once he ensures a regular full charge & does not discharge his bank below 50%.

12v batteries are easier to install, but has limitations as regards the amps per hour. I don't like the idea of looping several batteries to achieve higher Ah.

Its like you have not been maintaining your battery bank properly.

To determine the best way to resolve your battery issue, I would like to ask you few questions
1. Are you charging with inverter only, solar only or both?
2. What is the size of your inverter and solar array if any? Your inverter and panel brand?
3. What is you Bulk, Absorb and Float voltage.? What is your absorption time?
4. How often do you equalize the batteries?
5. What is your average house load?

You can reach me on mobile 0803 260 2629 to discuss further.

thanks for your time
1.both
2. Inverter is 10kva, not sure of solar wattage, 32 nos. of panel. Inverter brand is Prag, again not sure of the panel brand.
3.the batteries quickly jumps to a hundred percent charge as indicated by the inverter whenever power is restored, say in 15 minutes.
4.can't lie, the batteries have never been equalized.
5.the inverter reads 40% load at peak periods. That's roughly 4kva.

efuro:
Yea! That is a reasonable option for me too. Unless he has millions in his vault.

Let him get BLS/balancers for older batteries.
Just my stake!

pls, does the balancers help revive bad batteries, or is it just basically for monitoring each of the battery in the battery bank?

mcTrinity:
Replace one battery in a bank after 2 years
Are you for real?

more are likely to fail in the bank, in fact, I used only one bank of 8,and more ve given way. Only shortcut I think is if the batteries can be revived. Any suggestions pls?

c0ogumo:
How many batteries are reading 2V
It will be cheaper to replace just one battery than to replace the whole bank.
We have a replacement battery for your Trojan L16RE (USL16E)

initially two batteries at once, but we have more bad batteries in the bank now. Pls how much would each of the battery cost, and do you have up to 16 pieces?

Very old pic

mhisbliss:
thanks. Kiddo

lol

NiyiOmoIyunade:
The answer is that IT DEPENDS.

How old are the batteries? For how long have they been having issues? Generally the younger the batteries are and the less time they have been subjected to abuse then the better the chances of recovery.

Are the bad cells just having low SG due to chronic sulfation or undercharge? Then they may be recovered by isolating the battery and giving a proper full charge at low amps over a long period followed by a well monitored equalize charge cycle then perform a load/capacity test.

If the above procedure and test does not yield desired results, one may also dump the current electrolyte mix,replace with distilled water and run a charge cycle, dump the mix, refill again with distilled water and run yet another charge cycle - this process should allow the cells to yield any residual acid and become neutral, then you refill with a proper electrolyte mix and recharge fully and then retest capacity. Some authorities add an alkalizing agent to the distilled water to speed up the acid dumping process.

If at any time someone in an attempt to revive the batteries had added more acid or a too strong electrolyte mix then all bets are off

Needless to say the above procedures are not to be attempted by an amateur and also not without observing proper safety precautions working with acid.

If the issue is SHORTED CELLs or serious positive grid erosion there is really nothing anyone can do to bring the batteries back.

Personally if after a full charge and equalize cycle the batteries don't recover, I would sell them as scrap and move on with my life. There are much better things to do in this life than nursing a bad battery. In the words of a seller on this forum 'a dead battery is a dead battery'

Thanks for the Indepth explanations. We ve had the batteries for 2 years now and they have been doing very well until last month when we had low voltage supplied to the house . I know for sure the batteries were not undercharged so it has to be sulfation. I will try setting the inverter to equalizing mode to see if it helps, but should incase it doesn't, what setup would you advice, I am considering 2v 800ah batteries, but cost is about 5mil. Those Trojan 6v batteries are no longer sold here in Nigeria.

I also ve another question pls, can a 6v 400ah Trojan battery be revived when it reads 2v? even after recharging. A car battery expert said two of the cells are bad and that nothing can be done about it.

Pls house, what is the recommended charging current for a 48v 800ah system (6v 400ah × 16) and ve anyone tried out the thundervolt tl16 batteries?

Bro, can you send me a text message: 08030572852. Let's talk. I can help.

the police arrived a few minutes ago. The corpse have been taken away.

Amakavula:
pictures ?

was busy with others trying to put out the fire,taking a pic didn't come to mind. Would be insensitive too.

This is an SOS!Cultists are at it again, from Akins, to Addo, Oke Ira and Ajah, Gunshots everywhere,a guy was killed on my street and his shop set on fire. The police are no where in sight. Several others have been killed. Relevant authorities please act fast.

Flexing no let me save, spent over 600k on flexing in 2017. I am definitely adjusting in the new year.

I saw this on my way back to Lagos on Monday, gory scene I must say, rip to the lost ones.
