Had a panel battery backup fail during a storm last week
We got hit with a nasty thunderstorm Tuesday night and I got a call from a customer at 3am saying their system was beeping. Got out there and found the backup battery had swollen up and cracked the case. The terminals were corroded pretty bad too. I swapped in a new sealed lead acid battery and cleaned up the connections, then explained to them these need checking every 2-3 years. Anyone else seeing more of these battery failures in humid basements?

Disagree completely these things last way longer than that.
