Re: Absorbtion Time for AGMs

You're really just trying to get a feel for where you stand in relation to the factory rating of the battery. Light bulbs, resistors and even a PWM dimmer dialing the load in can be "accurate enough"...

Re: Absorbtion Time for AGMs

The greater the odds yes, but to hit a true 100% SOC in a solar day is going to depend upon your available solar charging amperage, minus DC loads, and at what SOC you shut down the Dino sources.

Re: Absorbtion Time for AGMs

The time from 50% SOC to 100% SOC is not shortened by much (about 12 minutes in this test) when doubling the charge rate from .2C (20% of Ah capacity) to .4C (40% of Ah capacity), but the attained...

Re: Absorbtion Time for AGMs

No what I said was that a "bulk charging voltage" meaning "constant voltage" or voltage held steady is NOT bulk or constant current charging it is CV.

You can have bulk charging = CC or constant...

Re: Absorbtion Time for AGMs

There is such a thing as "bulk charging". Bulk is constant current or the max current potential of the current source before the constant voltage set point has been achieved.
