    6000XP FLA absorption programming.

    It's possible I missed it, but I'm not seeing any setting in the 6000XP FLA settings for an absorption phase. How are people coping with that? I've had a thought about using the equalization settings to synthesize an absorption phase. This is for a DIY LiFoPo4 battery with no comms. I want to...

    Need some troubleshooting help [SOLVED!]

    I'm helping a friend imstal and configure a solar system for his camper. He has installed the following components so far: - Three 100-amp Battleborn batteries wired in series for a total of 300 amps at 12 volts nominal. -540 watts of Z-Amp solar panels on the roof. -A Victron 50 amp charge...

    Battery heater questions

    I've just added 28 Watts worth of heaters to the bottom of my cells. I'm trying to figure out how to complete the configuration and I have a few questions. For those who have added heaters to your battery banks inside of insulated enclosures, where did you put your temperature probes? Did you...

It has been working perfectly until Sunday morning. When I went to bed Saturday night, all was good with the world. Sunday morning, it was...

    Tail current charge table

    Does anyone know of a reference chart or graph or table or equation that shows tail current in % C to indicate full charge at different bank charging voltages? What would the tail current in %C be to get to 90% at various bank voltages? For example, for a 12V bank I understand that .05C at 14.6V...

    Using Equalize Function to Periodically “Full Charge”

    I have a Morningstar Tristar-MPPT-45 solar charge controller that allows a user to set a DIP switch to only allow equalization by manually holding a button for 5 seconds. The equalization function itself is programmable for both voltage and duration. Much like the normal bulk/absorption...

    Large cells OK in non-stationary uses?

    Hi All, Forum FNG here. This is my first post. I’ve been successfully using solar on my TT for many years. I mainly dry camp, sometimes for up to 2 weeks. I have a degree in engineering, know my way around electricity, and used to work for a domestic solar panel manufacturer. I’m just now...
