Thanks so much for your help. I'll be sure to use preset 3 and change the float. The only thing I'm waiting on is the little spacer building blocks to hold my cells together to build the battery and set it all up. I've already charged each cell individually and made sure they're all the same...

So I'm new to solar and trying to read up and I'm finding something confusing me about mppt controllers. Mppt controllers are not only more efficient but also allow for higher input voltage with less amperage, therefore saving on cost for bigger gauge wire right? But im confused about the input...

So, let me just say first off that I'm new to all the solar and battery stuff. Recently I was without power for neary 2 weeks here in texas with no way to charge flashlights (that run on 18650s) phones, run a radio, nada. I decided I would build myself a small 12v solar setup so I could charge...

Thanks, but my question was more about the mppt. From what I read about mppts it said to make sure the voc and isc of the panels did not exceed the ratings of the mppt. So if I used those panels in a 2s3p config that would be the numbers I used, which would be within the ratings of the mppt and...

Thanks. The charge controller does have a setting for the equalization of 14.6(the preset for flooded battery), but no time setting for it, nor is there a temp compensation setting. Is that important? Also, would that b3 preset of equalization be the "Bulk/Boost/Absorption: 14.6V or lower" that...

Where do you get panels at that price?

No, I hadn't. I'm new to solar and all. Thanks for the tip
