So I bought 8 g110-12 golf cart batteries and hooked them together in series for a 48 volt Bank. So far I have top them up 2 at a time with a 12-volt battery charger. Now I have them hooked to 2 235W Trina solar panels in parallel through an mppt charge controller. I bought the batteries on sale from a local Carquest and the manufacture dates range from July of 17 to March of 18.
I won't mount all of the 12 panels for a couple months. I am told that two panels is not enough to keep the batteries charged so I will add one more. I'm trying to contact the manufacturer to find out the best charge configuration and maybe some specific gravity readings.
I guess my main question is should I put an equalize charge on these batteries now or wait until all the panels are hooked up? I just want to baby the batteries for a couple months
