Done!

So on my BMS, I have the Charged Voltage set to 27.6V - are you suggesting I try taking that down to 26.6?

I am at a total loss. I have been running my whole system with minimal errors for nearly two years at this point. But all of a sudden I'm experiencing some very erratic behavior, seemingly surrounding my charge controller. This is my setup: - (4) 100Ah SOK Batteries, wired in series-parallel...

30%???? GASP

I think this is where I messed up. I should have charged them to full using AC power before hooking them up in teh system. I made the misguided assumption they were likely all charged up from the factory :( I hope this misstep didn't drastically mess with the lifespan

Sorry, I don't quite follow this suggestion. Can you elaborate?

Forsure. I'll see what makes sense - do you have any thoughts on the first question at the top of the thread? & assuming you have lots of experiences with solar, is it typical for people to need to break down their banks and charge individually as a kind of ongoing maintenance?

That's def an interesting idea. I'd like to just knock it out all at once though. I should theoretically have enough solar ; 800W at 6 hrs should be 4800W (obviously unlikely optimal conditions). someone suggested in another thread that it's due to low sun horizon during winter ; my panels are...

I don't think I have the equipment available to link them all in parallel for the AC charge. Would need more cables, lugs etc. unless there's another (inexpensive) way. Was planning on 1 by 1 I don't see the capacity anywhere on the first charger's specs - ty for pointing it out!

Wouldn't the first one have that capacity because its 12V/24V & therefore has internal capacity for at least 24V?

Hey! Not sure what you mean by the charge voltage - it plugs into AC and says a 12V 100Ah battery should take 3H - assume that's if starting from 0 SOC - which shouldn't be the case on mine

Hey there, I've been having some trouble with my battery bank shutting off at night and SOK suggested the batteries (4x 100Ah 12V in 2S2P for 200Ah 24V) are likely out of balance. They recommended I get a victron battery balancer in the system which I just installed. Two questions : 1. The...

That 29.6V absorption would surpass sok's recommended charge voltage of 14.4-14.6/ 28.8-29.2. woould you be able to explain the necessity of going beyond or ok to just set it to 29.2 which is max? Changing float to 27.6

Attached (most recent examples of abs & float) I have tail current disabled as per current connected's setting recs: https://www.currentconnected.com/product/sok-sk12v100/

Done ~ in the history section of the app bulk, abs, and float are three different shades of blue within the columns. most days its mostly in bulk, and historically when its switched to abs its there for about 1 to 2 hours despite it previously being on 15 minutes in the settings. can you explain...
