Shay,

Nice price drop, have you sorted through your problems.

Have you gotten them to work?

Inverter issues etc?

Load testing, do the batteries deliver?
Have fun,

Scott.

shay:
NiFe's because of their more of less electrolyte based reactions have a wider voltage spread between charged and discharged states. It is possible that a special charger/inverter may have to be designed and built for them. Not sure if an inverter designed to charge NiCds would work with NiFe.

shay:
Situation looks grim now....but the cell technology was proven in the old days. The answer is probably separate chargers (single cell and bank) and swapping cells in and out of the bank to meet current inverter limitations.
