Hi,
The Home Power articles are definitive.
I have #50 Edison 240AH in five 12v strings. Used telephone company. 25 years with me now. Solar charged.
Unfortunately one cell was lost to an errant hunters bullet
So now I have 9 cells out of the pack.
My thought is to parallel some smaller pocket plate Nifes I have up to 240 or 320Ah and use that as a replacement cell in the big string but I don't know how it would affect the others or if the replacement might pop! I welcome suggestions and will update my trial.
A new cell is $550 yikes!
Jim
