2 FOIIOE VESTWOODS 12V 300Ah with 200A BMS Plus and Ultra (Don't know the difference) 1,600 Watt solar array using a magnum 3,00 watts Charger/Inverter set to factory Lifpo default setting.
Just up and running yesterday and charged to 100% each before combining them, then used the inverter/charge and topped them off.
Just finished installing my RV am off the charger I ran the heater all last night, boiled coffee this morning and now have lights and computers running. batteries were at 32% SOC and 62% respectively. Is it normal for one battery to have a lower SOC or do I need to cycle the system for several days to equalize them.
Battery Current readings: Total of 600 Amp Hours connected in parallel.
Battery 1 13.3 Volts 11.30 Amps 33% SOC
Battery 2 13.4 Volts 12.30 Amps 63% SOC
Voltage stays the same Amp vary from 11 to 13 SOC is increasing on both.
Solar Charger Readings: Total of 1600 Watts (Overcast day)
PV
655 Watts
36.63 Volts
18.1Amps (increase as noon approaches)
Batteries
13.95 Volts (Increasing)
44.7 Amps
Bulk Charging
Both batteries are charging at about the same SOC rate increase but have drastically different SOCs.
