Still a far cry from where I'd like things to be. | Still a far cry from where I'd like things to be. | ||

+ | Second consecutive overnight. We've been charging solid since Tuesday morning. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cells have reached 3.35V. Amperage is down to 3.45A (12W). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====20220429==== | ||
+ | First serious run at the cabin. With panels wired for 24V and existing battery bank likewise, on a sunny day as this, I've been beyond pleased with the performance of my system. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cells drifted back to 3.33V. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now 4:18pm, cells measure once again at 3.35V (15W). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====20220430==== | ||
+ | Another day of charging at the cabin. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====20220501==== | ||
+ | While the sun is out, getting some charging in. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each resuming seems to restart us at the 3.32V/3.33V range, and a higher initial amperage (6A, 20W), and then dwindles throughout the day. Cells measuring 3.36V at the end of the day in recent days. | ||

+ | ====20220503==== | ||
+ | Started charging the second group of batteries. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====20220505==== | ||
+ | Second group of batteries, charging since Tuesday, are now up to 3.32V. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====20220512==== | ||
+ | After paralleling all 8 on Monday afternoon (20220509), and had upped the voltage to about 3.55V, I arrived today to find them fully charged at 3.4V (0A, 0W!) | ||
+ | |||
+ | So, I upped it to 3.65V and left them to charge. Had a nice 7A+ going. Not sure if I am keen on leaving them to charge through Saturday. We will see. Pleased though that we seem to be wonderfully close to complete with this endeavour. | ||
