Hi Bryan, I did have a look at forklift batteries, but here there is no way to move something like that about. I have moved slow combustion stoves about on pipe rollers before but here I don't have a slab to put the batteries on. Just a sloping carport with gravel on the ground. So moving a very heavy bank of batteries up the slope in the carport won't work.
i am leaning towards just duplicating what i have now, for simplicity.
I like being able to check the charge easily but the gassing off won't work either.
My batteries are near where the inverters are mounted, I have seen what sulphuric acid fumes do to circuit boards and that is not pretty.
