Hello again electro-wizards
So today i am trying to wrap my head around understand charging limitation, how much can you cram into a battery and how fast? what are the limitation and where do i look/how do i find these details.
THOUGHT EXPERIMENT:
This is just a though experiment to help me understand the charge process. the brands are not necessarily relevant other then for reference point for the sake of pointing out a data point. for focus is on the process. you can insert what ever brand/part number you like in your head.
Setup:
2x 12 Lithium Iron. batteries set up as a 24V cell. (lets pick Battleborn)
MPPT (we'll go with a or many victron 100/50 for this experiment)
100wh solar panels set up for 24v service.
The Experiment:
with the parts noted above, how many solar panels can you feed into those batteries before you are hitting a limit of input? i.e. 4 panels would be faster then 2 panels. what about 6? what about 60? is there a hard limit, is there a point of diminishing return? what and where do i look to understand where those lines are?
