Just signed up a few days ago, havent had much chance to browse yet but you'll be seeing me around asking lots of questions in the coming weeks. I'm looking at solar power as a source of energy for my cabin in NB, Canada. We go there on the weekends (year round) and sometimes up to a week. I...
Is it a big deal if i shut down my generator (stop charging ) during the absorption stage of the charging cycle?
I have a Samlex 2224 inverter charger and it automatically sets the absorption time of the cycle at 10times the length of the Bulk cycle. In other words, if it charges for 1 hour...

My friend has 2x12V batteries connected in parallel. When i checked the voltage on each batterry, one is showing 12.0V, the other 14.8V and the system 26.9.
I think I know what his issue may be... he has a DC 12/24V fridge connected to one battery (yes... the one that reads 12V).
My system...

At one point i was told that i should charge at no more than 20Amps. I...
