RE: Wind turbine
Everyone running batteries should have a battery hydrometer, its the only way to know if a battery is fully charged or not

a fully charged battery will have a specific gravity of 1.260 - 1.280, you should check individual cells, and any battery with a cell that has a very different specific gravity should be removed from the bank immediately.

a duff cell can actually consume energy from the rest of the bank to try and "charge" the bad cell, which runs the other batteries flat,

i've seen it loads of times on toyota hiace/hilux/landcruisers, which all use 12v batteries in parallel (uk spec only of course Wink )


a hydrometer is a must though!
in some cases, those with the least to say, say the most.....
