Crown CR350

Need some help in Crowns terminology on charging. Setting up system in my garage before installing in cottage. As per attached, gassing point=bulk? I have only read about bulk, absorb, float, and equalization. I have a Trace SW4024 and 4 crown CR350 batteries. No panels, using grid in my shop over winter to get familiar with charging batteries.

Main daytime system ~4kw panels into 2xMNClassic150 370ah 48v bank 2xOutback 3548 inverter 120v + 240v autotransformer
Night system ~1kw panels into 1xMNClassic150 700ah 12v bank morningstar 300w inverter
Set bulk @ 28.8 volts
Absorption time 3.5-5 hours
Float @ 26 volts ?
Equalize @ 28.8
Equalize time 3 hours
Max charge amps AC @ 10 amps
Temp comp @ lead acid
I am contacting you on behalf of Crown Battery Manufacturing Company. To answer your question the charge control settings for your 12 volt system please refer to page 3 of the attached deep cycle support brochure. The suggested settings for your 12 volt system are also listed below:
Daily Charge (Absorption): 14.5
Equalize: 15.5
Float: 13.5
this is what crown sent me to use on my cr235, your voltages seem to be a little low according to them
I'd maybe set the current limit a bit higher as [email protected] will likely be less than 10x120÷29vdc out. Chargers can have lousy power factors, so DC out could be quite a bit less. Best to measure it so you can set AC input limit accordingly.
