Correct. 14.4 is the absorb , 13.6v for float Also switch off Equalize to 0 Gel or normal Lead-acids or AGM's need equalize, lithium doesn't need that as they don't lose power as quick. Absorb or Bulk kicks in only once voltage drops below a certain amount (known as Boost Reconnect 13.4...

I have an EPsolar ? EpEver 20amp MPPT (2210an) I want to connect it to an Lifepo4 200ah battery but need to custom the settings. Is there a way to set the settings from the MPPT itself? without a pc ? I don't have the USB or connection to connect to mppt

Maybe Forbisher has more experience.... but i don't think it's a good idea mixing panels of different voltages. Specially if your doing them in series. Essentially the current goes through other panel. combining the voltage. having a 12v panel (which can push upto 21volts) mixed with a...

To illustrate. 20amp charger on Battery's (24v or higher) So even on Semi cloudy days.. or mild sunshine.. because panels are higher rated.. it can still store the good amount (Full capacity that your charger can handle. It basically milks the sun more.. so that the MPPT stays as efficient as...

Which EPever / EPSolar do you have? If it says it's a 20amp.. that is the rated max charge either at 13.7 or 14.4 at boost. Won't go higher than that. Even if you tripple or quad the array. <that max Array PV is propably a calculation they made, based on Amps per best on the market Solar...

Thanks. I'll use those settings then. Over Voltage Disconnect 14.7 V Charging Limit Voltage 14.6 V Over Voltage Reconnect 14.6 V Equalize Charging Voltage shut off or 14.5 V <- If lower Boost charging Voltage to 14.4v (from 14.5v)must the equalize charge volt shut be 14.4 too ? Boost Charging...

Heya. You can always have more Power on Solar panel. vs what your controller can do. Just remember Solar panels and sun conditions is not always optimal... so maximum watts won't be charged to MPPT unless you get that 5-6hours of full sun. The more panels, the more sun it grabs and maybe you...

Rick. with those settings, it won't damage my battery ? and it will charge to 95%? or to 90% of capacity of the battery.? My inverter is a 600watt pure sine wave.. but it will connect direct to Battery. How can i calculate howmuch watts i can use.. so that the voltage don't go below 11 (or...

also have an EPsolar 20amp MPPT solar charger.. and want to get the Mecer 200ah Lithium (Lifepo4) battery. They got very specific settings. I'm not sure how to set it though. as there are so many settings on EPsolar and the provider of the Lithium has different wording. (so i'm worried to buy...

if your MPPT can handle 150v . It's no problem in series. The fuse rating is problem... as 20A is the fuse rate over all panels in parallel. Can only have 2 like that. then you have to switch to series yes. (volts go up.. amps stay low)

Nice big panel... Just remember.. you can only hook upto 2 panels of these together in parallel. as this panel pushes 7.92amp. If you add in para it adds amps. So having 2 of them will have volts @ 30v but amps @ almost 16amps. (if you have 2 of them both ++ and -- connected) to stay on...

Could be that the mini solar setup not good quality panels or not getting enough sun to do anything.

I already had the battery's luckily. As i had a backup power UPS running on my tv setup. Incase of loadsheddings. So the grid would charge battery's and it trips over within 0.1seconds to backup battery if power goes out. We had it.. at some days where it's loadsheddings twice a day for...

Yeah. so yours is basically an 8w doing around 2000ma +- , i'm guessing it can charge 10,000mah if you had a good power bank and fairly good amount of sun. If it's full sun... mayeb 15,000mah 2,000mah , minus 20% loss (there is always loss) x 6 to 8 hours of sun. That can do 12000mah...
