While he also has 160W of solar he wants faster charging with the charger and 2KW gen with reduced gen run time. So I’m thinking that he needs a decent 3 stage charger for C/5 or about 50A that is mounted next to the batteries in his 5er.
The new charger doesn’t necessarily need remote temperature and voltage sense probes for his usage. I have a question about the PD9245C and PD9260C chargers. The manual shows bulk and float charging but no mention of absorb charging. Did I miss something?
Or recommendations for a suitable charger.
Close to the batteries is a great idea. Large wire also. And to answer your question float is 13.20 (every 21hrs bumps it to 14.4 for 15 minutes) Adsorb (if you want to call it that) is 13.6 and bulk is 14.4.
(But there are faster ways to charge off a Genny)
Good luck with your project!
