Hi Super Eggo;
Thanks for the fantastic information. You are really helping me to win the battle for independence. 412Ah/15A = 27.5hrs. I didn't know the formula.
Actually, I removed the original AC to DC converter that was in my motorhome because it was taking up so much room in the battery box and I didn't think that I had any use for it because it was only running the lights and the fridge. I never need to use the fridge because fridges are only for people who need grocery stores and I have replaced the original lights with full spectrum 4 foot fluorescent tubes.
And I couldn't imagine charging up my new LFP batteries with an ancient converter from lead-acid 1977, that would be extremely disrespectful to them.
Hey yeah, the 12v/100A PowerMaxx sounds great because I've really got to keep the charging time down to as little as possible in order make the generator fuel last as long possible.
And I want my wonderful batteries to last as long as possible so I will take Will Prowse's advice and do this by cycling them around 50% as much as possible. Like maybe 85% max charge and 30% min charge.
And you are telling me that the absolute maximum charging current that they can handle can handle is 100amps? And then you suggest that I use a 75amp charger. Is a 100amp charge going to be hard on them? And if so, what can I do to make it a bit easier? Would it be easier on them if I added another battery, like a 100amp one? No, I can't do that because then it would take 7 hours longer to do a zero to max charge.
How many amp hrs are you regenerating with your 100A PowerMaxx?
