6 FAQs about [Solar charging voltage 13v]
What is a good charge voltage for a solar battery?
Boost Charging Volt (V):13.8V, an OK value for a low stress charge, set to 13.9 or 14.0 for a slightly faster charge time. Float Charging Volt (V):13.8V, if there is a load on the battery whilst solar is active set to 13.5 or 13.6. If the battery is standby use set to 13.4 or 13.3.
What is a good battery charge voltage?
You have a fully charged battery. 13.8 is a conservative value and will charge your battery, and with the 120 min boost duration, the constant voltage period, will get to full. Boost Charging Volt (V):13.8V, an OK value for a low stress charge, set to 13.9 or 14.0 for a slightly faster charge time.
What is a good voltage charge curve graph?
Your voltage charge curve graph from the scc ( assuming consistent sunlight and no varying loads) should start in mppt mode and be a very gentle incline around 13.2 where it holds for a while, then when nearly full, the voltage starts climbing quickly until it hits your full charge voltage setting.
What is the Max Voltage for a battery charger?
The max voltage of the charger should be 14.7V for for bulk/absorption. Might need to spend another night at the campground.. ? Without conducting detailed testing, you'll need to go by voltage and estimated state of charge. Every 13Ah is 5% of your capacity.
Can a charge controller force a battery to a given voltage?
No. The charge controller can't force a battery to a given voltage unless it provides enough current to do so. When your MPPT can provide 13A of current, your AGM won't read 14.4V until it's about 80% charged. Then it has to hold 14.4V for at least a few hours with continually reducing current to completely charge the battery. Fun with math:
How many volts does a LiFePO4 battery need to charge?
LiFePO4 requires 3.65V per cell to fully charge, that's 14.6V for a 4S battery. If you hadn't mentioned using the CTEK, I would have said your SCC needs re-configuring but for both chargers to end up with the same result, the only common denominator is your BMS. Could its high voltage threshold be set too low (should be around 3.85V per cell)?
