There has been quite a bit of discussion about this on the Promaster forum. It appears that our alternator is quite capable of charging lithium directly without overheating. One guy beefed up his wiring and has charged 560Ah lithium directly from his 180A alternator for six years with no...

Nope. SOK left that at at 13.1. My understand is that it is set so low so the batteries can’t float. It was really curious to watch the amps during the charging cycle. Crept steadily up from 13.3 to 13.7, then jumped suddenly to 14.6. As soon as the Trimetric registered 100%, I turned the...

All is well. Tomorrow, we leave this furnace for more favorable climes. Solar was two bad parameter settings on the Trimetric. SOK had me change P1 to 14.6 and P16 to 13.5. It appears to work fine now. Renogy had two issues. First, the bad breaker was replaced on the output wire. Second...

Thanks. You may have just saved us a day for traveling instead of sweltering at home.

Another question: Renogy says 60A fuse before and 50A fuse after the unit “or close". Those specs would be generic for all types of batteries. Our very short (couple feet) 2-gauge wire from Renogy to battery could handle a very substantial amperage. The batteries could handle 100A within...

After sleeping on this overnight and reading your conversation this morning—thank you for caring—I’m wondering if part of the problem could be in my head. It's going to be a mental adjustment "livin'' in the middle" after so many years of trying to keep AGM's charged. My understanding was...

Yes.

I recently bought two 100Ah SOK batteries. I charged each with a NOCO g26,000. When the NOCO said they were charged, voltage was 13.3, which I understand To be somewhere in the 80-90% range of SOC. I installed them in my van, which charges from the NOCO, a 40A Renogy B2B, and a Trimetric Solar...
