Rotating batteries and micro chargers?


So far, I have had no problems with my little 400 watt system:
2 210-Watt 12 volt panels
60 amp Trace charge controller
1500 watt Trace inverter/charger
4 6-volt golf cart batteries from Sam's
I've rotated the batteries once or twice in the 3 years I've had them - is there a 'right way' to rotate them?

I'm curious if anyone is using the newer panels with the built in controllers, micro inverters.

Jim
I don't know of a right or wrong way to rotate them. Just make sure all the connections are tight and corrosion free.
I have no experience with the micro inverters, but I thought they were more for grid tie applications and not for off grid.
