foxing the Blue Sky 3024di
Hi,
Today about 2 pm the Blue Sky 3024 di was doing 13.3 and zero amps. I have an external switch so that I can deliberately "trigger" an equalization. As soon as I did voltage reached 15.2 and amps going in were 8.9
There is also a trik-l-start installed and it dropped the voltage down to 14.6 on the chassis battery.
The 8.9 amps is being shared by 8 marine batteries, so it is more or less a trickle charge effect--but it means that the chimney fans and parasitic loads are being run by the solar instead of the battery bank.
Probably only about 4 amps are going into the eight batteries.
Temperature happens to be 25 C (77 f).
