Re: A way To Save Charging Time

The discharge/measure voltage method is to be used with caution: the books give voltages past discharge and at rest. If you measure right after discharge the meter is down a bit. Wait about one hour...

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

IMHO:

Battery 450Ah, when at absorption voltage (I assume for 24V the absorption is about 28.8-29.4V) accepts less than 4A, you are within 1% off full charge. GREAT.

If I read your post right,...

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

I am not sure. I think to equalize you drive them really high for a time. Not all batteries can get equalized though. Lead acid open ones do. About gel and agm read from the specific manufacturer....

Over time you reduce this number in the meter memory. I deduct 5% of original bank capacity each year.

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

I think a big downside of genset / solar combo is you would want to start the genset at the lowest point and before the solars kick in. This lets you use the genset to push thru all or most of the...

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

Ours does. It is just the question of having heaps of solar area per any given batt bank size.

When it does not, simply push thru the bulk before the sun is up, with your genset or alternator.

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

Can someone PLS go back to that point where it is stated 'under 10A it is fully charged'?

I do not get this part. Is your bank 10000Ah deep?

I have a100Ah bat, when fully charged it accepts...

Re: A way To Save Charging Time

Choices, choices!

Solar panels are dirt cheap now. I installed a huge solar kit on an Oyster 70 last year. Total...
