  • disappointing lead acid battery capacity

    Hi all, I have not been able to understand why my battery bank capacity is so much less than it should theoretically be. I have 12 six-volt 230 AH flooded lead acid deep cycle golf cart batteries arranged in three sets of 4 in series giving 24 volts. These batteries are only one year old. In...
  • Series vs Parallel

    I'm in need of some expert advice: I am installing four 370 watt 35 Vmp 10.7 amp panels and was planning to wire them 2s2p using a single pair of 6 awg wires. So about 70 volts and 22 amps to go the 25 feet to the controller (Midnite Solar max 150 volts and 60 amps). But my friend says that...
  • How to transition from 10awg to 8awg wire

    The 4 panels I want to wire in parallel are 35 volts and about 10 amps output. My run to the MPPT controller is about 20 feet, so I would like to combine two of the panels and transition from 10awg to 8awg. But I can't find any mc4 connectors that make this size change. How should this be done?
  • Two Controllers charging same battery?

    Question from a relatively new solar guy. I want to double my panels from 4 to 8, and the panels will have different voltage and amps. I plan to get a second MPPT controller for the second 4 panels and feed the 24 volt output into the same 690 AH battery bank. Will the two controllers interfere...
