Re: Anyone has Flood Lead Acid battery off grid system run for more than 10 years?
And remember to inspect new batteries, check electrolyte levels, electrolyte SG, resting voltage for each cell/battery delivered--And log (battery SN/Number/Cell number) in a log book for your batter…1 · -
Re: Absorb Time for LiFePO4
The thing to remember is that the charge controller was primarily designed to work with lead acid batteries, LFP don't need a long absorption so the controller needs to be programmed to minimize the …1 · -
Re: Conext 6048 xw+ Balance issue
Drill down thru settings and enable GENERATOR SUPPORT PLUSThat puts the internal transformer into a mode to help balance loads, but it should be able to handle a pretty wide variation in standardsett…1 · -
Re: Inverter repair
I agree with Bill. Here below ..... is a copy of my OzInverter build manual from the tech section. Its a straight to the point contribution by a well respected, good and clever engineer in Australia.…1 · -
Re: Absorb Time for LiFePO4
When I first started reading here (a long time ago, and I had just installed a GT Inverter system in my home--Still no battery/inverter system, just a backup eu2000i genset), I was reading about batt…1 · -
Re: Question about battery/cable lugs and battery connections.
You are referring to maybe a 1/4" of area for the current to pass through. Cables are important because several inches are involved. Consider the safety fuse which really amounts to a much smal…1 · -
Re: Selecting panels
It's not quite as simple as it will/won't work with mppt. An mppt cc needs some overhead pv voltage to buck down to charging voltage. I've seen suggested minimums of 20-30%. The actual overhead will …2 · -
Re: voltage control
Don't forget the heat sinks ! Half the purpose of turbine protection is Over Voltage, the other thing is Overspeed. You need a bank of load resistors to switch in to load the turbine down to prevent…1 · -
Re: Fangspun mppt
you will need to have minimum of 2 panels in series to properly charge a 24 V battery bank. The CC will generate a lot of heat etc. if 3 in series is used for 24V bank. Best to go for a name brand CC…1 · -
Re: Fangspun mppt
One other generic set of questions... You need to match the Vmp-array with the Vpanel input rating and Vbatt output of the solar charge controller... If you have a 12 volt battery bank, then any reas…1 ·
