Looking for some opinions/advice, just what these forums are great for!
I am installing a new battery bank of 6 golf cart flooded lead acid batteries. Should these batteries be "conditioned" in any way other than ensuring they are fully charged after the install and cycling them partially down a few times before putting them to their full task?
As one of my charging sources, I have a 570 watt solar array with a Morningstar MPPT controller. When I equalize the batteries (using the shore charger), should I disconnect the solar array during the process? I know I need to shut down all DC devices to avoid damaging them with the high voltage, but do I need to do anything to the solar?
I am trying to treat the new batteries as well as I can.
Thanks,
Tom
