I had some Tronic batteries that went bad because I was out of town for a few months and they dried out. They were 18 months old. Are they revivable or toast?
Drying them out killed them. Permanently.

no more then 3 years taking meticulous care of them....
I would like to get that much out of them. Around two years is the best I can get in my situation.
last advice on batteries the bigger the battery bank [More batterys] you have the longer they will last. If you have 2 one hundred amp hour batterys at 12 volts and discharge them 10% daily they may last a year. If you have 10 100 amp batterys and discharge them the same 10% which is nothing with that big a battery bank they should last at least 7 years with good maintenance and using HYDRA CAPS. If you can afford it buy a big battery bank in the long run you will save money. I used to sell batterys [industrial] to CODETEL their rule on batterys is always over rate them by 50 %. More AMP HOURS LONGER LASTING!.
It's been about four years since I had put in invensor in my house and it looks like I will need a new set of 4.
Does typical battery last about four years? It really sucks when all these surprise expenses comes up.
It feels like everything is getting expensive as time passes by, I remember how much less I can spend here but I think I am spending as much or even more then in US now.
Does anyone how much are new batteries these days?
I want to ask another question.
Myth?
I am getting a look from "OH MY GOD HE HAS REFRIGERATOR CONNECTED TO INVENSOR" looks and talks.
Yes, I was told by Mocanos my refrigerator is going to kill my batteries and invensor in a month.
Yet, I had used mine for four years.
What do you guys think?

It doesn't matter what appliances your inverter supplies power to. The bigger the appliance the bigger the power draw and the harder the hit on the batteries. Appliances with motors and compressors are all big drawing appliances, especially when motors first start up. The one thing I want my inverter to power is the fridge. Warm beer is the worst. Your 4 batteries are a minimum. If they last all the way through most of your power failures you'll be ok. If you can work it out, try adding 2 or 4 more batteries just to give yourself the added run time and save a bit of wear and tear on your new set of 4.
