I've read and searched on these fora about the wonders of a chemical called EDTA, which is supposed to chemically clean the plates in your inverter batteries, giving them a new lease of life.
I have sixteen US brand batteries that are nearly three years old and my inverter performance is seriously dwindling. This became apparent today, when someone in Sosua drove a truck into a power line and the blackout lasted over 14 hours. My sixteen batteries lasted for only 8, when I could get almost 36 hrs with careful rationing.
Is this EDTA product available here, especially on the North Coast? Does it really work? If it does work, then why don't all the ferreterias sell it?
If you can't hold of this magic powder, what about this B Bagra stuff that IS sold in the ferreterias? Does anyone have any experiences with it?
I suppose I was being a little optimistic thinking that I had bought a well known branded battery and a quality Trace inverter that can equalise them. I hoped I would get more than three years out of them. But if this EDTA stuff works like some claim it to, and I can get some, maybe I will.
