FHU - Solar - Battery Charging

Makes no sense to have your converter on, especially if it costs you, unless its dark and your batts are not as full as you want them, morning or evening. All your controller settings for bulk, abs, float should be set higher than the usual converter settings. Therefore, the converter will be shutout and will not be able to get a charge in edgewise anyway. Experiment a little bit and see what fits your current situation and remember to change it back (or less) when circumstances change like in storage. Go 3-4 days at 14.8v bulk with 2-3 hours of abs at the same then drop to 13.6v or 13.8v for float. Last day, do a hydro dip in the late afternoon and check for excessive bubbles. If that is too “hot” drop to 14.6v and repeat.

In the long run water is cheap. Just be aware of it.
