Thanks for the help everyone, Over the weekend we tested the batteries to see if they were fully charged (If they were then SP+Controler were fine) which they were. Therefore we simply have too much of a draw and the system is undersized. I will go ahead and consult an EE for further guidance...
I was not able to see the name on the charger, but was able to read the following:
Solar input: 6.5 A
Battery charge: 10A (Not sure on that, might have been 10V)
The third spot is actually for load.
Thank you guys for the quick answers, I will go out to the field and gather some more information regarding the charge controller (i.e. output and ???). Outside of that information, what would you guys recommend for increasing the reliability of this system? Buy bigger batteries/solar panel?
Hi guys,
I am a Civil Engineer, and have a simple charging question I was hoping to get some help on.
I have a few sites where I am having power issues at, here is the layout:
Solar panel -> charge controller (one input, two outputs) -> each output runs to a 12V battery which powers a piece...
