  2. mrsmackpaul's post in Possible series parallel switch problem was marked as the answer   
    You can bung a amp gauge on each bank and just monitor that each side is charging 
    Anyway the main thing is your up and running fine now
    But to stop a battery failing in the future the batteries need to be monitored for charge as regularly as checking your oil and water 
    A hydrometer can be used once a week

    There are other methods but this is quick and simple and accurate way to monitor the batteries

  6. mrsmackpaul's post in tip turbine check valve was marked as the answer   
    Dunno if they are or arent available 
     
    What makes you think its worn out ?
    I had my turbine apart recently and there really didnt appear to be anything to bugger up on the valve 
    It is spring loaded and I had just cleaned around it etc as best I could
    Even if they arent available I think just a normal check valve from a plumbers would work in the short bit of hose
