Lifeline Battery Recovery experiences?

If your AH counter does not take heat loss on recharging into account, then it will over-state the AHs going in and declare you are full when you aren't yet. You will have batteries that are undercharged and sulfating. (as you suspect yours are)

EG Trimetric has a default charging efficiency that is adjustable, but you have to play with that for several recharges to get it right on. So after a while the AH counter gets out of whack and needs to be reset. If you leave it on "auto-reset" and you have solar, it will be wrong by resetting itself every time it gets dark

No idea what the Magnum and Whizbang do about that. However, if you have never reset the AH counter for four years, then it could be reading anything by now.

More info:

Magnum MS2812, with Temp Sensor, with BMK Meter, with AGS, with Smart Battery Combiner for the Chassis as the Auxiliary battery.

The MidNite Classic150 is a 96 Amp capable Controller, fed via 1200W (5X's Panasonic 240W 48V High Efficiency Panels. With the WhzBngJr added. The WhzBngJr combined with the Controller, mimic's the BMK Meter. Also note that the MidNite also has a battery Temperature Sensor like the Magnum. So both are adjusted during charging, and discharged, based upon these Temp Sensor's actual battery temps.

These are all funned thru the Shunt. So all charging, and all drawdown/usage going/from the House bank, including Alternator flowing over from the combiner, goes and is read via the Shunt valve. (I've nicknamed it 'The Gateway' In & Out of the house bank.

So expect that the SOC AH In/Out calculations reflected by both the Magnum BMK Meter feed to the ARC50 Remote, and the MidNite Classic 150 Controllers remote display, are accurate as I know how to make them. (But again, sure willing to learn if I'm wrong.)

Thank's,
