I created some space between the invertor and the battery and some space under the battery. The battery began taking a little more each day. Now it's at 63% I also reduced the maximum charging amperage down to the minimum 20A. (Instructions say i could go down to 10A but i don't have the...

The past few days I noticed my battery isn't charging much over 50%. And my invertor isn't trying. Usually it's running full tilt by 10 am and fully charged by about noon. I have 9 solar panels rated at about 3300 watts all together charging one lifepower4 100 AH rack battery. So it's been no...

The system is installed on a converted bus/ motorhome. The 120v EG4 invertor feeds the circuit breaker. The 12v invertor, no, excuse me, convertor, feeds from the 120v breaker box.

Yes there are 9 panels. I updated the post after doing some research. The 334 volts is perfect

It is in communication with the invertor. Is 53% the "hot battery" charge limit?

Watts

To sum this whole thing up.. I could have just asked why my lifepower4 battery would just stop charging at 53%.

I'm not getting a warning code for "temperature too high"

Yes and rapid charging creates more heat.

I'm going to accept this as a good thing. But then tell me what it is about a trickle charge that is good for a battery compared to a rapid charge of is not heat and the even distribution of power between cells.

I will check, thanks. It doesn't appear to be misreporting based on the amount of power I'm getting out of the battery.

Taking 54% today.... charged by 9 AM before the heat of the day. Battery voltage 56.4

1) Not in a climate controlled environment. 2) No temperature report for me to access. 3) 56.4v 4) Tubac, AZ

EG4 is installed on top of the battery. Stuck a thermometer in between. Reads 110. I'm making space between the EG4 and battery to see if that helps.
