Battery consumption

Given enough time it will probably happen.

I tend to be blunt as shit, and it doesn't always go over well.

Majority? You're being generous.

Hi Guys,

Just an update on my 24 x 170ah Supersafe batteries. They are all balancing nicely. Ive been through those that read low and gave them a good charge. ATM three strings of 4 have a balancer fitted and read in the 13.45 region during the day. The others are very close but well into the 13’s. Three more balancers are on the way.

Cheers.

1. Peak system voltage at end of absorption cycle - critical - can quickly damage batteries that are over peak voltage.
2. End of discharge - serious - discharging some below others percent SoC-wise means those will deteriorate more rapidly.
3. Balance in the working range - negligible

1. It's just before you start getting charge (maximum depth of discharge)
2. Just entered absorption (peak voltage/current)
3. Just before float (peak voltage/min current)

Where balance matters and to what degree:

1. Peak system voltage at end of absorption cycle - critical - can quickly damage batteries that are over peak voltage.
2. End of discharge - serious - discharging some below others percent SoC-wise means those will deteriorate more rapidly.
3. Balance in the working range - negligible

Essentially not worth checking the individual voltage unless:

1. It's just before you start getting charge (maximum depth of discharge)
2. Just entered absorption (peak voltage/current)
3. Just before float (peak voltage/min current)
