I would like to see temperature adjustment for voltage (automatic compensation is too much too ask for).
Arrive at desired "I" value, hold for 15-minutes then revert to float.
I analyzed my collected data and decided that the MPPT Abs times need to be lengthened because the switch to float was above 0.5% = 1.35A on average. Beginning tomorrow, I am going to be charging without float and with only Bulk and Abs.
I will observe how long in Abs it takes for the Amps to stay below 1.35A for 15 minutes net after parasitic loads(hotel). Next, I can make timer settings to the MPPT.
The RPi computer can analyze the data at one minute intervals and could be used to make immediate adjustments the MMPT. I am hoping I can find MPPT settings that can be more permanent without relying on the RPi.
You may want to wait for these results.
