* Wolvenar makes a mental note. Prioritize that wind genny raise.
That would be a good idea... even if it just a very small one to tinker with.
1) Every little bit helps, especially in winter.
2) 2A / 60W is almost nothing in a bank that size, until it does it for 48 hours straight when the sun never showed up for those 2 days.
3) More stuff like that, all of which you already know.
The original pair of Sam's 6V golf cart batteries are still in the string at the shop.
The string expanded over the years, but the hydometer still says they are fine (as of the last I knew, which was maybe 6 months ago).
A few years after the initial battery/solar install, added a pair of T-105s.
A few years later, added another pair of Sam's (pretty sure those are made by a 3rd company).
A few years later, added some used Sam's of the 3rd company variety, which were removed from a system being removed (long story that I don't have all the details about).
Sometimes during the winter, 12V 85 and 110AH class batteries are added.
The original pair must be 10 or 12 years old now. They spent (typically) 7 months floating because there was no use for all the solar power, but they spend 2 months never reaching 13.0V, usually not even 12.3V weekly peak.
I'm just saying I am not all that opposed to adding new batteries in parallel with old, as long as the old still work properly. I am sure the old pair has a lower than rated capacity, but they work.
Ghurd's mental note is this is half way through the 3rd summer, and the tower progress is still 0.
