Hi,
this is my first post here. Thanks for a great forum with lots of knowledgeable people.
I have a 12 volt solar system with a Epever 4215bn charge controller, two luxor panels at 320W each and two 160ah gel batteries in parallel. The system is located at my cabin on a little island.
Unfortunately I left a load on and came back to fully drained batteries. The volatage is right now a little bit above 5 volts. Yes Im gonna invest in a low voltage cut off switch.
Conditions:
I have another fully charged battery on another system on the island which I can use. It's a 12v flooded lead acid battery wiht a capacity of maybe 75ah.
The gel batteries has now been left without charge for aproximately four mounths.
My question:
Is there anyway for me to jumpstart the charge controller with my fully charged extra battery so the charge controller can start charging the flat batteries? Its a sunny day here and it should be sunny tomorrow. If so How do I do that, provided I am able to revive the batteries?
I really want to avoid carrying the batteries down to the boat and take them home to charge them if possible.
Any imput would be appreciated.
Thanks in advace!
