First post here, just looking for a quick answer. Got a new set of platinium 6v 420 Ah batteries wired up in a 48v bank. 2 of them have very low sg readings with a hydrometer - one cell in one is reading 1.18 even. The rest are 1.22 - 1.23 across the cells. I gave them a freshening charge for 3 hours as per the specs of the batteries, 62v for about 3 hours. All 6 of the good batteries are bubbling at this stage and the sg are drifting closer together but these two are still stuck with these low readings.
I've been on to the distributer but I just wonder am I right in thinking I've got two duds here. When they arrived they had low water even and exposed plates slightly so I was suspect initially but was told but the company it can happen.
