I need some idea of what to expect in the way of voltages going into my battery bank.
I have a 24v 1350ah battery bank. I am waiting for my ampmeter, but on light windy days I will run the genny for a 1/2 hour and watching the voltmeter will see the voltage rise from 26v to 28v. I will usually then shut it down and wait for a few days and do it again. I have no load on the battery bank just yet. It will take a few more days before the wiring to the pellet stove is ready.
The other day the voltage ran up to 29.2 volts and I shut it down afraid to cooking the batteries. Not likely, but why take a chance.
I don't know what to expect in the way of voltages under charging conditions. I realize a fully battery will have a higher voltage but what are the ballpark figures?
When you get a diversion controller does it really shunt off anything above the setpoint, and is there a way to prevent this diversion from cycling off an on for each gust of wind?
I am kind of waiting to see what the ampmeter reads before ordering a diversion controller.
Appreciate some comments
