  • Post in thread: Settings on Litime 60A MPPT for AGM bat

    I am aware 60AMP is large, I am planing for upgrading. It will only be with these AGM batteries for a few weeks. I orderd one 200AH lifepo4 battery and I may get one more. I think my system is currently 16.6 amps, yeah I plan to ramp things up. Okay sealed, yeah, I read gel a couple times...
  • Post in thread: Good LifePo4 Charger

    Okay yeah it's 12v Yeah I don't need to or want to customize my needs, because I don't know what to do. Currently that is. It's already too much information as it is. All of it. Although, it is becoming a fun little hobby. Victron seems to have good quality and quiet fan as well. They get...

  • Post in thread: Testing PV's Amperage with Multimeter

    Klein model is CL210 I don't think it has what we need. DC AMPS. The Comercial Electric is model is MS8301B and I don't think it has the correct DC amps as well

It is usually around 19v in full sun. How ever when I attempt to gather Amperage data, my reader on displays 2...

  • Post in thread: Settings on Litime 60A MPPT for AGM bat

    Yeah I was thinking 16.6 amps from my panels. Yeah I'm little confused on all of it! Okay so I will set it to sealed! Yeah no info in the manual. So in the MPPT set up it has the 001 to 247 with a setting wheel next to it. I'm wondering what this setting is?
  • Post in thread: Testing PV's Amperage with Multimeter

    Well if it was a blown Fuse it wouldn't show any voltage? And it wouldn't show watts on my MPPT and charge my Batts? 21 - 24 VOLTS or AMPS? Yeah the back of the panel says max of 21v. I don't think it's full full sun when I check it so it only goes to 19.(×) I'm also testing during a load...

  • Post in thread: How many watts should my PVs channel on cloudy days?

    It's 7:00 PM here in Minnesota, April 29th. It's relatively well lit out side, but full thick clouds. Like pretty heavy winter clouds. How many watts should my 2, 12v 100w PV's distribute? It cycles from 0w to 1w to 2w, does that seem correct? And I also noticed the PV's were sending 14 and 17...
  • Post in thread: Testing PV's Amperage with Multimeter

    Oh that's my problem the Commercial Electric meter I used does not have DC Amps. I did try changing the probe but I see exactly what to do now. Good one. And yeah I was doing VPM not open.

  • Post in thread: Correct watts coming from PV in full sun

    Hello I just noticed my Panels only pull in 2 to 103 watts and there is 200 watts worth of panels. I forget how they are wired it was 5 years ago i wired it. But it's for a 12v battery so I think in parallel. I recall seeing on the mppt they were pulling in 180ish watts sometimes but this was...

    Hi, my MPPT 60A by Litime does not have a setting for AGM battery. Which should I set it to? It has CUS, TERNARY, FLD, SEL, GEL, LI & FePO4 available. I have two 55AMP Centenial AGM batteries wired in parallel. Thanks.
