Howie and Allen,
I used 5 Simpliphi 24v to replace 24 L16 wet cells. He wanted to keep
his old Bergey 850 which I had rebuilt for him a few years ago. He has two
VFX3524’s in a Flexware 500 but we are running just one to keep idle loads
down. We did have one incident where the batteries would not charge when
the temp dropped into the mid 30’s in his unheated but well insulated power
room.
