How many batteries?
How many batteries are needed to insure that a Progressive Dynamics PD4655V (55 amp using 4g wires) will go into boost mode when the batteries are at 50% SOC?

WAG --170AH worth of batteries.(no charge wizard)
A 55amp charger will start to taper from constant 55 amps at 72% SOC on a 220AH bank at 14v. 72% of 220 is 158, but the PD goes to 14.4, so add a bit, so my est is 170ish. However it will taper right away.
With a Charge Wizard answer is, one battery. :)
OK. Since the PD4655V has the charge wizard built in, and I have about 168 amp hours of battery, I am good.
Thanks all.
