    Question about MPP Solar and Float Voltage - not necessarily MPP Solar specific

    Charging my battery pack for the first time and the MPP Solar seems to only get to the float voltage setting and then stops charging. I have the Bulk charging set to 28V and the float set to 27.2V I have the BMS set to 80% duty cycle (Overkill Solar) and the cells are showing 3.4V which is 80%...

    Need help charging my 8S 280 Ah bank

    I connected them all in parallel to get them all @ 3.3V. I don't have a bench top power supply and even if I did it would take a long time @ 10 amps for any reasonably priced charger. My MPP Solar all in one unit has a built in 25 amp inverter/charger. Can I just plug it in on my bench and...

    Equalizing voltage on new cells?

    Just got (8) 280 Ah cells in yesterday and almost every cell reads 3.28 volts except for one that reads 3.32 volts. I want to connect them all in parallel to equalize the voltage across all cells and they did not come with enough bus bars to connect them all. I would like to use some 10-12...
