i looked up the specs, and have the PDF download
not that it makes much difference
the PD converter is a 70amp model so the max i can get into the the (5) batteries at 8am is about 85amps total 70 from the PD and 15 out of 30 for the solar
thats about 17amps per battery, i'm reasonably sure i;m not over charging
so i am not doing any Strenuous charging, i haven't tried attaching my B&D chargers
as i need some power for the coffee maker and the MW
i have have measured 67.7 amps charge off the PD on an overcast morning with almost no solar
i haven;t tried to see how much i could make (1) or more take
now that i need the A/C every day
i just start the generator in the morning and run it all day
full charge aka less than 1amp per battery takes about 4hrs to reach
by mid day i definitely need the A/C, which is already running
the batteries are charged and floating, the genny can concentrate on the A/C with NO additional strains
i'll be back to a more normal routine, once these heat waves are done
