If one battery is charging off the other battery... It means that you've either not properly balanced them or that You have more resistance on one of your battery banks or wiring causing a mismatch
Alternatively you could have one pack that has a smaller capacity
I have a 460 amp hour, 2P4S...
Another interesting thing is a little earlier today My wife powered up the microwave and it died as soon as she tried to start it... No breakers blue or anything but I shut off the breaker to the microwave and turn it back on she tried it again same thing... But eventually it just started...
It's still coffee time my friend. I'll admit I was a little offended... But like I say no hard feelings. And some root beer and a tobaccy pipe does sound good
So I have 4 Duracell gc2 wet acid batteries... There's six volts configured to 12 volts
I've had quite a few gray days lately and as a result I've had to use my generator in the morning to charge up the batteries and potentially in the evening as well
The inverter charger can do up to 100 amps...
so lots of things to look at... if cabling is undersized or doesnt have appropriate air flow(bundles or wire) it will heat up... as it heats up the resistance increases, which leads to more heat... its a run away cycle
some fuses and breakers are big causes of heat... same issue as above...
I have been thinking, propane is a great way to heat water... But if I have excess solar power, which happens a lot in the winter, I might want to heat with solar...
But I can't seem to find a water heater that can do this...
Anyone aware of anything that would work?
I would not worry about the difference... What will happen is that while charging, the battery that is closer to the charge source will charge slightly faster... And the battery that is further away will charge slightly slower
And then once you are first battery is fully charged all the current...
My pattern of use varies with the seasons of course... But generally speaking I almost always reach a full charge during the day... But I'm oftentimes under load so meaning even once I hit a full charge the battery management system will shut off charge turn on charge shut off charge turn on...
I know I have the support of our mayor... But I also know that it's a little out of my lane to be writing those as I simply vote on planning and zoning... But I imagine I could look at it in a way where I caughtify the planning and zoning for solar and alternative energy installs
Actually just talked to the manufacturer... They say that it does have a high temperature shut off switch built in
He also made sure to mention that it's pretty important to have this properly adhered to the battery otherwise the heat transfer will not be enough and it could potentially burn...
