Im sure that Steve H. will have the “official” word on this but…. I find these cells quite robust and I would suggest that your “supplier” ck the SPG then charge them, & recheck prior to shipping. These are my go to cells if they want more that the 6CPS 25-27 plate 5000 series capacity. Have I had issues, yes, but I also install a lot of their batteries & their "lil pitbull of Warrantee", SH has been good to me. Keep good records, SPG& VpC, and polarity check, prior to site delivery and accurate record keeping after that using a refractometer. Surrette’s warrantee has fallen in line w/ most other battery manu’s as far as the Wtee. time frame, so check. > On Jun 11, 2020, at 2:05 AM, Sindelar Solar <[email protected]> wrote: > > Wrenches, > > Here's one I haven't encountered before, and I'm interested in the range of > opinions I may receive. > > My battery supplier screwed up, and they admit it.
