Re: A way To Save Charging Time

You obviously have internet access, why don't you get the instructions on how to program your battery monitor???????

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

If you had only asked the right question ............................ 5 years ago!

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

I already posted that running the generator 9n the morning for about 1 hour allows my 290W of solar to get the batteries to 100% most of the time (less than 0.5% amp acceptance at absorption...

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

Turning the freeze and frog for a few hours wouldn't save any power, it just delays it. But if f you needed the owner just to get amps into battery just because you wanted to get charged it would...

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

It takes hours to do that last few percent and it has nothing to do with how large your charge source is. If you think otherwise you are wrong.

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

I don't understand how an extra battery charger reduces charging time, unless you didn't have the right size charger to start with. I never have seen my battery charger supply 70% of it's rating...
