Hey Guys! Nice to be a part of this Forum, have been watching Will for a while now.
So after watching the SOK battery review, I decided to go with 16 x SOK 208 AH (832 AH @ 48V) to replace the FLA Trojan Industrial Bank @ 1000AH. which reached the end of useful life after 6.5 years of hard use.
Please note I am new to LIFE PO, would appreciate any advice on configuring the charge controllers, without overstressing the bank.
I have sent SOK various emails they have been great about answering questions even late at night. Min from SOK stated that 57.6V was a good safe 100% Charge value, and would be safe up to 58.4V without any issues.
Setup
-------
48V OUTBACK RADIAN 7048 @ 230V 7KW ( located in se-asia )
Charge controllers - FM-80 x 2 (Flexmax 80amp)
16 x SOK 208AH (4 strings of 4 @ 48v) Buss Bar combined to Inverter
Panels - 33 LG 300 watt each (oversized for rainy weather)
Midnight Solar Combiner
Outback FLEX-DC Monitor
------
Attaching Datasheet for SOK battery 208AH, and the configuration that I came up with after watching the Outback tutorial on LIFE PO config.
*Note I have limited FM-80 CC to ADC 60 AMP per CC, so a total is 120 AMP to the bank, is this too much, too little? My understanding is the bank of this size can take 200 AMP max charge @ 48v.
The bank is on its first full charge cycle and will report back with results.
Any advice on how to configure this would be appreciated.
