8 years... well I hope mine last that much or more too xD.

Oks! I'll try that or the baking soda as well thanks for both recommendations.

and I have just started xD but I really appreciate all the help you all have given.

I guess you couldn't be more right man.

well no, I know about the limits since the begining for not having as much sun as I'd like, but I know I can run ~100w for almost 10hrs to get the batteries to 50% dod and then I can forget about using them again xD but I totally got crazy today when I saw the corrosion (which I thogh to be...

ok, I'll try to send the pictures tomorrow with more light.

thanks, I can rest a bit, but what about the bulge above the battery, it's just a bit though, a friend said that it is normal also... I dont know its the first time that I work with this.

if... and only IF... I could get my panel to the roof of the apartment I would not have any of these problems, at least 15amps al day assured xD but the owner and some other neightbors in the building don't like the idea... one of the reasons I plan to move soon..

I still have warranty and I dont have a wallmart in Dominican Republic xD, I could get a 12v100Ah flooded battery though

Damn... so at least 3 days waiting for the batteries to charge... well at least I could try setting the voltages as you say and turn it into a 2 stage charger.

What about the battery roundness I think its a bit swollen...

Thanks for the answer, my loads are normally around 100w for that same problem, with the sun directly the most amps I can get into the batteries are 12A, but normally the charger sends around 0.5-1.5A (1:30pm to 6pm), 1-3A (7am to 9:30am) and 4A-12A (9:30am to 1:30pm) those are roughly the numbers.

nop, it was night time and the panels were already "sleeping" so I assumed it was well charged. well the batteries are in the same balcony in a corner where the sun does not hit directly but they normally get around 30 celsius but is not humid.

Hi, I have a 2 months old solar setup consisting of.. - 2x 6V225AH Interstate batteries (2S setup) - 1x 355W panel (40v 9A max power) - EPEVER 2210AN Charge controller (20 Amps max) - 800w pure sine inverter Wzrelb I use the batteries like every two days, this is because I drain the batteries...

Excellent thanks!
