Hydrogen Sulphide Smell

[kje1977]

Probably can, but then you would have nothing working in the house,m lights, refrigerator(DC), etc. I would get this rectified immediately. Also, the fumes are not healthy to breath. Also, as long as the bad battery (assuming there is only one) is connected to the others, it will draw them down. Check the charging system to insure you are not overcharging. I would have them all checked and replaced, as necessary.

Hopefully, these are not the original batteries. If so, replace them all.

As ever - thanks

Upon inspection, it looks to me like there are 2 separate banks of 2, with at least 2 of them being original and another 2 added on to boost amp hours. Pretty poor practice.

I've managed to get to that last cell and the density is way to high so water loss too. Interestingly, this means that it is each of the last cells which have been affected (i.e. on the final +ve and -ve to the supply) but all other cells are ok. Not sure if this confirms what the problem could be.

Will get all batteries looked at

Thanks

One bad cell is bad. Replace. The original 2 are 18 hrs old? Long overdue for replacement.
