The review. Bimble Solar 400 amp hour 12 volt Nickel Iron battery bank.

I have have been using a 12 volt  400 amp hour bank of these Nickel Iron batteries for around 4 years now.  We are off grid in Spain using solar panels  (800 watts) and all our other equipment is Victron In my experience these Ukraine made batteries are totally crap and unsuitable for anyone who is off grid and does not possess  a massive diesel generator. OK that is the short version of my experience with them lol, here is the long version. We received them getting on for 4 years ago , the dealings with Bimble solar were acceptable and they arrived within the delivery time (they had to be ordered from the Ukraine ,possibly made to order) They came with a manual, a single sheet of instructions. For 3  years we had no problems but last summer I noticed one of the cells wouldn't hold a charge. I emailed Bimble explaining the situation and asking for advice. basically they ignored me.  Suffice to say I found Bimble's after sales service useless and believe me that is understating
