That's a great idea. I have a test setup in my back barn with my solar setup. Right now I'm running old cell tower batteries (AGM 160ah x 8). Was thinking of using old fork lift batteries but now you have me thinking. We have a ton of the Chevy Volts in my area. Should be able to find a wrecked one. Thanks for the heads up!
