Re: Flooded Acid Charge Rate
I really doubt you're going to see "too much" current in bulk. Re-reading several manufacturers charging recommendations, it seems clear to me that C/10 charge capacity is recommended for g…1 · -
Re: permanent magnet dc motor used as a generator
I agree the risk of overcharge is small, but with unregulated charging it's still risk. Taking the low end of the 2-300w range, that's still ~14a (7% of 400ah Capacity) vs a ~1% of C regulated absorb…1 · -
Re: Charging LFP (LiFePO4) batteries to 90% SOC, or not
FWIW, my guess on why 6mins is the chosen absorb time: The time would normally be set to 'X', or 'X.y' hours in a lead acid application. This value may be stored as an integer and divisor (eg 2.5hrs …1 · -
Re: permanent magnet dc motor used as a generator
It will be very easy to go over 14.4v with the bike, with no load (open circuit). Once the bike generator is connected to the bank and gets over the battery voltage (eg 12.5v), the bank charging beco…1 · -
Re: permanent magnet dc motor used as a generator
Yes, the battery should sort of anchor the voltage until it gets close to fully charged. When it gets close to fully charged, the battery takes less current. With regulation, voltage would be held at…1 ·
