Battery replacement on 'battery bank'

Unique discussion on battery bank repair work . Often not in the know with certainty what the cause of the current decline in battery capacity on a set of batteries in the battery bank . This is reasonable considering the battery bank has so many parts that made ​​up the battery fused into a bank .

Need to check one by one of course in this case and requires some time to do so . Depending on the model / shape and the way the gasket in the unity of the battery.

In every part of the battery has a different character and age despite using the same brand , same capacity , of course, in the use of the same as in a series connection.

Why be different ? . Each material has a specific response battery manufacture and independent of input voltage , the voltage exhaust , heat / temperature at the time of work . Other things , for example the connection between the battery lead terminal is less than perfect also cause damage.

And in a battery collection at any given time there will be an imbalance ( internal sulfation ) , and the beginning of a reduction in working capacity of the battery bank.

What do we do when detected that only a few batteries are dead ? Or function is not optimal capacity ?

Failure or damage to one of the specific battery that is too long will lead to different loads in a battery arrangement . And became a kind of parasite in the collection , due for a long time is likely to affect the other battery to the same damage.

What is the best solution if found some batteries are damaged ?

The best solution is to exhaust all the battery and replace a new set ! . Possible to replace a new battery at some defective battery could possibly be done , but what the impact of it if in doing ?

Battery replacement on 'battery bank'

In manufacturing production of a battery from time to time there will be a change although not significant, although the same type , the same capacity even though the same serial number.

In general, the character of the old battery is more sturdy than a new battery ( it is " possible " regarding the production and material things as well as economic reasons ) . This is normal and many found around us.

Adding a new battery to replace the old damaged battery is not the best solution but it can be done with a specific reason ( eg budget reasons ).

Technically replacement battery at the battery bank that one of them will die causing an imbalance in the composition of some of the battery , even though the system is still running and the battery bank will continue to function as usual and " maybe " worked more than overwhelming at first . Because the new battery has a proportionately higher value than other batteries which are still embedded there.

At long wearing what would happen ? ? ?

Battery that can be said more fresh and certainly more powerful will affect long battery even a ' blow ' to the old battery to the damage.

A consideration of the case to replace the battery in one arrangement / circuit battery bank.

For the last answer all of these questions in the case of replacement of the battery bank is taking into account the value of pros and cons is that the replacement of all batteries at the time one of the dead battery is the best solution.

Except at the time of survival at sea and experiencing it , while there are only a few spare batteries while some pieces can be utilized to continue living in the system .
