I have the MPP 1012 with 2 HQST 100w polycrystaline panels in series on the roof of the van. This is hooked to a 100ah SOK lithium battery. (spec charge voltage of 14.6v)
While it shows charging with solar I've noticed the battery voltage bouncing around quite a bit on both the MPP display and...
The MPP has a "user" setting for battery, which it's set to.
bulk set to 14.6 and I've just been scratching my head on the float setting for this. default was 13.5. I've seen what seems to be much conflicting information on what to set the float voltage, so I've been trying to educate myself...
If I set the (bulk) charge voltage to 14.6 and the float to something low, like 13.3... what determines when the MPP does bulk vs. float?
In a scenario where it starts out bulk charging, reaches full charge and switches to float, what determines that? the current going into the battery?
what...
For my preference, you would connect the 12v "battery" connection from the MPP to a 12v bus bar, which will is where you'll connect to a 12v fuse panel for loads and wire from the bus bar to the battery. I also like breakers between each. something like the attached photo. In my case, my...
