Side note I've been watching Will P for a while now. I was shocked when I looked up how to use that load tester found his video. I didn't even know he every used one of those. He is where I found the $300 version. To be honest I wish I could just sell the batteries and controller and get a...
I have not yet. I have somthing coming up monday and going to wait till after since I have things disconnected. So probably wed or so i will connect everything back up and give it a go. When i have a result i will post it.
Hey thanks for that Link. That looks awesome. Very excited to try that out.
It is a Mppt controller. so your right watts are watts so it wouldn't matter.
and yes that is how I disconnect and reconnect them.
So after testing the bank and making sure they are still working and efficient. I am...
This is a good point. What I find difficult is determining when the bank is actually at a Full charge. Since once you stop charging at any point on these types of batteries, you have to wait a while for things to settle to see what state of charge it really is. I thought that was the point of...
The efficiency setting on here if a % number of how efficient your battery bank is. Supposedly if i set it to 90% and the SOC is 100% but it is still charging then I need to increase or decrease the % number to make the SOC hit 100% when the charging is complete. Not sure which way to adjust...
Maybe someone can tell me this. I am trying to get my battery efficiency setting to where it needs to be. If my charge controller says my SOC is 100% and it is still charging the bank. Do i need to increase or decrease my efficiency setting to get that matched up?
If i stick with the settings i have now (MFG) then i am pretty sure i am going to ruin something.
I have the shunt setup that you are referring to and watched a video on setting it up. What is supposed to happen is when it reaches the target "end amps" it dosnt seem to shut off or change how...
Complete charge.... in this case i meant a charge cycle. as in the day starts, sun comes up, bulk charging begins. After "X" amount of time the charge controller goes into rest mode and a light comes on telling me that the battery bank if fully charged.
I believe the MFG specs say to bring...
I have a Midnight The Kid Charge controller hooked up to 4 6v Interstate batteries as a 12v system. I am using a shunt with the wiz bang jr. I also have a temp senor on the batteries. I have the Battery info added to the Charge controller. Batteries are stored in a room temperature environment...
