Duh! Forget the charge controllers. Get one of those little suction thingies that floats
balls. It tells you specific gravity on each cell in the battery. You can easily tell if you have
a bad cell. If all the cells are good then the whole battery is good. If one is bad then the whole
battery is done, finished, kaput. People make it way too complicated. I don't even have a battery
but I know more about them than you do. So sad! I'm a girl. Your a man. Your a duh case.
