Now to the charger. That's a dilema. Setting my solar charger to 14.4v for absorption would make the 12v devices happy but I lose battery capacity. And what about equalization voltages? Changing out the batteries to gel might be a solution but my batteries are only two years old and not due for replacement.
Now we're back to what can handle the higher voltages and what can't. And for those devices that can't, what modifications do I need to do so they can.
Until I can get a fix in place, I'll set my absorption voltage to 14.4 and equalization to manual to be done only with the battery switch off.
All of this because of solar and boondocking.  |
Thank you. Now I understand this issue in a better context.
