I've had 2x HLB 700 s for the last 3 years with no problems and would buy again although I am thinking of lithium for the next change
What are using to charge your HLBs Dave? An Elektroblok? My 8A Maypole charger isn't up to the job. The day I installed the batteries, it was nice and sunny so the solar charger was dumping about 5 amps into the batteries for most of the day. I put them on mains charge the following day. I go by what the Maypole says is the state of charge, which it reported to be 85%.
It won't charge them beyond 95% so I need to look at sourcing a new charger. You would think it would eventually charge them but the Maypole is rated for 185 Ah capacity.
