In my case i gave up and all of those P1 L1 C1 PDQ numbers along time ago... I just know what I need to be doing to make it through the day/night run on my 255AH battery bank so I can use my generator the next morning at 8AM for three hours to get me back up to a point where I know i can do all of this all over again for the next day/night run on my battery bank... I also know I can do this setup for ten or eleven days and get almost the same result every day... After 10 days of doing this then my performance starts falling back and each day I keep going it starts getting to the 12.0V (appx 50% point) earlier and earlier each evening.... Then I have to stop everything and do a slow good 12 hour smart mode charge and things then jump back to their normal life again...
I am hoping to add some solar panel this upcoming season and this will just be icing on the cake as for as I am concerned. My routine will be almost the same as before except I may be able to cut back on my generator run time to one hour verses three hours. Once my batteries are accepting 6-8AMPS DC current then I can allow my couple of 100 WATT solar panels do this during the high sun day . However if for some reason it is not going to get me back to at least the so called 90% charge state before lets says 4PM each day then I will run the generator again for a couple of hours... My converter/charger will be producing 13.6VDC during this two hour run... I know from experience if I don't start with the 50% charge state then it shuts me down around 10PM at night and I have to disconnect the battery bank until 8AM the next morning when I am allowed to run my generator again.
These are the pitfalls I run into camping off-grid. Not so much getting all of those numbers you are talking but knowing what to expect from the battery performance during the evening... My savings grace is I have a good DC VOLT METER and DC CURRENT METER setup reading both Negative and Positive DC Current depending if I am in charge mode of high current drain mode...
actually it is all pretty much normal runs now since I have been doing this since 2009 with this particular battery bank setup. When I get my newer battery bank going i will have to develop my Battery bank standards all over again on what will work and what won't...
I already know of one pitfall coming up is my PD9260C only produces 14.4VDC boost mode and the GC2 6V batteries I am going to be using want to see 14.8VDC. I have been figuring it will be just fine using the 14.4VDC but will take a hour or so longer to meet my marks... I probably will be getting a different converter/charger before it is all said and done with haha... Randy at Best Converters sells a PD9260-14.8 model now...
My generator is my savings grace and if I had solar it would just be icing on the cake...
