accuaracy of Wizbang jr

ldiorio

just installed a Wizbang Jr and connected it to a Classic 150 to help me monitor the SOC of my 415AH Fullriver batteries(48v)
this morning after a full charge overnight the Wizbang indicted a 100% SOC but a 402AH level in the batteriesis this just normal loss in the system(cables) or inaccurate Wizbang Jr

When setting it up you enter info such as battery efficiency. That is reflected in that figure of 402 AH. Temperature also has an effect on the capacity although off hand I forget if temperature is taken into account by the WB JR (if there is a BTS connected).

Vic

When the battery is fully-charged and transitions to Float, the WBjr's Capacity will read the same as the Capacity that you entered during set-up.

But, as Mt Don mentioned, if the battery is cool/cold, the remaining Capacity will be reduced, by the Capacity vs temperature Factor that was entered during setup (this Factor has a Default value).

Bet that the reduced Capacity is the result of the battery being cool or cold.
FWIW, Vic

thanks for the info
guess its a combination of efficiency and temp---makes sense
in fthe process of setting up my system and now that i have the WBJR have to determine what the level of discharge should be and LBCO for the system--so i need 2 voltage figures
1-LBCO
2-DOD

need some recommendations from users based on there experience with charging and discharging batteries
i have 8- 6V Fullriver AGM's with a mangum 240v inverter

Due to temp compensation I have never seen my Capacity match the entered amount but have seen 100% SoC many times, as the charge cycle has entered Float.... it is a normal thing,

ps don't know why this did not show as posted but it is showing now....I hope
