I've seen several instances with AGMs, where a dead cell overheated and blew the top of the case off the battery.  Looked pretty bad, but I wasn't there when they blew.  I think the prevention is to regularly check separate battery voltages to identify weak or dying cells before they blow.   8

And thank you Steve for reminding folks of all those nasty effects of outgassing hydrogen..I figured someone would, necessarily. These are sealed AGM, which I realize is not a guarantee of no hydrogen , but certainly not a constant hazzard. ALSO.. .these are large spaces...full length of house craw

Hello Wrenches... Since Ken brought it up Inverters are the most common of the ignition sources, with loose connections being a close second... Inside each inverter/charger is a transfer relay, this relay when it transfers to or from grid will spark. This sparking action can cause Hydrogen g

Jerry,             I serviced a system that (who became my) customer installed just like that. To me, it doesn't really matter what the NEC thinks about it. It was great because it showed me what I would *never* duplicate in my repertoire of installs. Bill On 7/28/2018 5:10 PM, Jerry Caldw
