We found a diode that was installed backwards, on the positive line from the wind generator/solar panels. We turned it around and we have not had a problem since that time; that was about 10 weeks ago.
We removed the wind gen and its wiring. Why? The company that donated the batteries has a repeater that is powered by two 35 watt panels, no charge controller, two 1500 amp batteries and the tx is at 100watts. They have no problem with this set-up for over 7 years. They swap out the batteries every year. Now my repeater has one 110 watt and one 115 watt panel, with a charge controller, two 1500 amp batteries and 21 watts output. Works like a champ. Thank you all for your input. Rod KC7VQR
