I think you are right, looking at the current vs voltage curve, I believe I was just headed up the voltage curve.. The curve is quite vertical near the full charge point

Charger was still pushing 29Amps, battery voltage started at 13.2V after a nights use and went up to 13.4 volts after 2 hrs with 30Amp charge. The highest voltage I have seen so far has been 13.6 volts. The charger is set to turn off at 14.6V. I am fine with 13.6V, as it will result in longer...

I have a new JITA 300Ah Lifepo4 battery, seems to be working fine BUT it doesnt seem to be interested in charging to a voltage above 13,6 V. Even with my 30A ac charger pushing 30A for 3hrs it only goes up to 13.6V. The BMS is not stopping the charge as it should not at this voltage. I do...

I would run a generator for the welder

I am in the state of Maine. I built an off grid cabin 5 years ago with a solar power system and it has been great.I am building a new house at the moment and I am researching what I have for options. I have been a master electrician since 1993 and have worked as a hydro electric power plant...

Hi there, I am looking to build a system for my new house I am building. What I want to do is: Grid tied solar WITH battery bank to be used as a back up system in the event of grid outages. The inverter output must be 120/240 VAC and be able to supply my 100Amp service. My nominal load will be...
