Thanks Chris, it is nice hear you enjoyed the video. One new topic every week, I will upload the next video in a few hours.

Glad it was helpful!

Great to hear!

'Absorbed to my mind', nice one! Thanks for your message, it is good to hear the video was useful for you.

Hi Bhaskar, thanks for your compliment and it's good to hear you enjoyed the content! Jesse

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for your message Adeniji, it is nice to hear you enjoyed the video! I am glad to hear you are using the Hoppecke AGM's, in my experience they are top of the line! Not that many people use them due to availability / price. Sorry to have confused you regarding the equalization: The need for equalization of AGM's ultimately depends on the design of each specific battery, since AGM's can differ quite substantially. In my experience with Hoppecke batteries, following the recommended manufacturing settings yields the best possible end results. I hope this helps, enjoy your excellent batteries! PS I love your name, my guess is it is a Nigerian name? All the best, Jesse.

@@SolarSolution I must say the batteries are indeed excellent! Yes, your comment helps, I will stick to the manufactures recommendation. and Yes, I am Nigerian! Thank You.

Coming soon!

Thanks for your suggestion regarding the Lithium battery topic Nicolas, I have upload a new video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6qAqLSWv6_Md2g.html

That is an excllent point you raise there, thanks! I will share a video on this shortly.

Hello Wilfredo, thank you for your message. I am glad to hear you appreciate the videos. Keep on learning! All the best, Jesse.

Glad it was helpful!

A video topic I would like to hear your opinion about would be some detailed information on charging a deep cycle battery on a alternator. It seems to be the general consensus that is a bad idea, but I have never read or heard someone explain why, an alternator with single stage charger can't full recharge a deeply discharged battery. You explained how a 3 stage charger works but what does a single stage do? Jason

Hi Jason, thanks for your feedback. An excellent and valid question, I will share a video on this shortly!

@@SolarSolution I will be looking forward to it thank you 👍

Hi Jason. As promised, here is my response to your question about charging your deep cycle house battery with your alternator. I hope it will be useful for you.

Glad you think so Michael! Thanks, Jesse

Glad you liked it Jessica!

@Arminius thanks for your feedback. I find what you are pointing out very interesting, and you are definitely right that there seems to be a lot of confusion between the terminologies used and the characteristics of the the different types of Lithium-based batteries. I will let my brain chew on it a bit and come up with a proper video. Thanks!

Thanks Smokey Joe, it is nice to hear that. All the best, Jesse.

Thank you for your message Mujahid, it is good to hear you enjoyed the video. All the best, Jesse

Thank you Dana, I am glad you enjoyed it.

A great suggestion, thank you for your message. There is indeed no video on this topic yet. I will make one and notify you once it is online. Thanks! Happy new year, Jesse.

You're welcome

Hi Lars, thanks for your message. It is good to hear you enjoyed this video. You have an excellent question regarding de-sulphation devices: I discuss this in the following video I shared: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdKGpcZ4ndC6Z40.html Let me know if you need additional information! All the best, Jesse.

Great suggestion!

Thanks

An excellent question, thanks! I will share a seperate video on this.

Hello Robbert, thanks for your message. It is good to hear you enjoyed the content. For personal advice you can contact me through www.solarsolution.co/contact

Hi Handis, thank you for your message. I will upload a separate video on battery capacities soon, I am sure this will answer your questions. If not, just let me know.

Hi Yoramedia. Thank you for your questions. I have a script ready for a video on State Of Charge indicators like the one you are mentioning, so I am sure this will answer your questions. The video will follow in the coming weeks. It would be a bit challenging to explain the topic in this comment only. As for the the charge controller question, I would definitely recommend to have a separate charge controller for your wind generator. I hope this helps, enjoy!

Hello Walid, thanks for your suggestion. I will add it to the list! Jesse

Hi Dimitiris, thank you for your best wishes. I cannot provide you with personal advice through the KZfaq comment section, sorry for that. To get direct support, contact me through www.solarsolution.co/services. Good luck with your system! Jesse.

Hello D, thank you for your message. It is good to hear you enjoyed the video. As for your question: Do you know whether you can adjust the settings in your charge controller?

@@SolarSolution You can only adjust the equalization voltage. You cannot adjust the duration of how long the charger stays at the equalization voltage. I am actually considering the purchase of a DC power supply that has voltage and current settings so that I can adjust what is applied to the batteries during equalization. I realize that I will need to ensure that the batteries are isolated from all loads and chargers when I apply the DC power supply output.

Thank you for your message Gerald, I am glad to hear you enjoyed the video. And nice to hear from somebody in Peru!. Unfortunately I cannot provide you with technical advice through the KZfaq comment section. Sticking with the manufacturers recommended voltage settings is often wise. Overcharging a battery can [among other things] lead to accelerated aging, case bulging, and excess loss of electrolyte. This being said, the flooded lead acid battery are less sensitive to overcharging [and other forms of abuse], compared to the AGM and GEL types. I hope this helps, if not you can contact me directly through the main website. Good luck! Jesse

@@SolarSolution Great, thanks for the quick reply! With what you said in mind, I will try to get the bluetooth extension, but at the same time not be worried about my batteries until I get it (probably in a couple of months)...Thanks for the advice! Have a great day!

You are welcome Gerald, glad I could help. I wish your bluetooth extension will arrive soon! Would be nice to hear how it turns out. All the best, Jesse.

Hello Eva, thank you for your message. You have an excellent question, which I have not covered yet; The difference between start & deep cycle batteries. I will share a dedicated video on this soon. As for the second part of your message, could you perhaps clarify your question a bit more: What is it that you want to learn? Thanks. Jesse

Hello James Bond, thank you for your question. Perhaps you can clarify which type of charger you are using, and what the charger settings are? Perhaps Q can also assist you. All the best. Jesse.

Hello Shlomy, thank you for your message. I think the following video will answer most [if not all] of your questions: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdKGpcZ4ndC6Z40.html. Have fun! Jesse

It doesn't. He said that when it reaches a certain resistance that it triggers something in the circuitry of the charger to start the absorption process. The absorption charge rate could be a preset amperage value in your charger common for your type of battery (doesn't matter the ah). Only after it reaches a certain time or the amperage reaches an almost equilibrium state that threshold is met and you have reached float value. The charger should stop charging after this? But we know my cheap lead acid charger will keep charging at the 2a setting i selected and bubble up excess energy from the battery until you unplug it. Now ah rating is important because you dont want to charge it faster than the 20% ah rating for your battery. If you pick up a 5a output charger and charge a 25ah battery that would be 20% the max charge rate you can safely use. You need to check the absorption rate of the charger for compatibility with your battery. I got a battery cooking now I need to check on. Nothing smart about this one. I was going to add that is why I start my charger on a high setting for a low battery and after it reaches a certain voltage around 80% of float value I turn it down to the lowest setting and this has always gave me a strong car battery. It does give me a green light so maybe it does shut off I dont know. I've had some bad batteries come back to life after a really slow charge for extended periods kinda resets them or something. I think they call it battery conditioning.

These batteries have different physical and chemical structure than lead acid type

Hello Waqas, thank you for your message. I will share a video on this topic in the near future, stay tuned. All the best, Jesse.

Hi Toze! Thanks for your message, it is good to hear you enjoyed the video. I would like to help you, though unfortunately I cannot provide personal support through the youtube comment section. You are welcome to contact me through the main website: www.solarsolution.co. Good luck! Jesse

Yes, First stage bulk max rated charging up to 20%ah rating. They probably advertise how fast the green light comes on. They say float but I bet you its the absorption stage where the charge controller lowers the current due to the first stage completion re battery voltage and slowly finishes the charge till float (100%) as the video explains. You could test using a dc amp clamp. Or possibly using a regular volt meter set to dc, unplug the charger after the green light comes on and check the bikes battery voltage by touching your leads to the harness connections for your bike. Plug it back in for 2 hours and then check the voltage again. That reading should be close to your float voltage. Find the nominal voltage (lower than the green light value) the factory says the battery is and subtract from your float voltage (highest value). Example: Lets say you get get .5v difference (that's usually what i get from a single cell 18650) from nominal (shipping factory voltage) to float. Divide by 10 would be .05 so if i'm right your green light came on after 80% charge meaning .05 x 8 = .4 volt increase, in this example, from nominal voltage would be 80% and another .1 volt (20%) increase would be the float charge. Also if you know the battery cell make up you can find the battery factory voltage and see how many times they ran it in series to come up with the voltage rating they provide. So if its 18650 cells the voltage is I think 3.7v lets say if your bike says 48v then the batteries ran in series 13 times and the voltage more accurately would be 48.1v. So knowing the cells really helps make this test for more accurate. That .1v could mean 20%. Sounds crazy but if you run it in series 13x's that .5 x 13 = 6.5v divide by 100 = .065 that means .1v may only be about 2% of a higher voltage system. That sounds more like it. I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Hello Jean, thanks for your question. I did not see which brand or model of battery you are using: What does the manufacturer's specifications recommend? All the best, Jesse.

Eversol 12V C20 220Ah / C5 185Ah AGM

Hi Abiezer. Can you provide more details about what kind of charging topic you are interested in.

Hi Ashley, thanks for your message. Imagine that you are inflating the tire of your bicycle: While you are pumping, the pressure in the pump itself is quite high, and forces air into the tire. The pressure of the tire will increase, although the pressure in the pump will still be higher than that of the tire. Similar to inflating your tire, you will need a higher voltage from your charging device, in order to "inflate" your battery. When you will stop charging, you will now see what the actual "pressure" in the battery is. The voltage you are seeing during a charging cycle is the voltage produced by the charging device. I hope this helps! Jesse DISCLAIMER: Don't try to charge your battery with your bicycle pump :)

Hi Ashley, thanks for your question. There can be several reasons behind this effect, I would need additional information in order to answer your question. The settings in the inverter would be the first point of interest. Good luck! Jesse

Hi Michael, thanks for your question. Have you checked the battery specs yet?

seems to can't find it for my batteries its power king same thing as US power 6v 225 amp each. my system is wired for 24v 2 strings of bank

Ok I understand. For help, check www.solarsolution.co/services The 'Instant Consult' option would help you out.

Thanks for your message Sree, and welcome to the channel! Jesse

I did find this: Recharging deep-cycle batteries with a charger using a constant voltage or a fixed charge algorithm can, over time, lead to a condition called stratification. Stratification occurs when the acid in the electrolyte separates from the water and settles to the bottom of the battery causing damage

Hello Anil, thank you for your message. I received your other request as well: work in progress!

Hello Muhammad, thank you for your question. Have you checked the recommendations of the manufacturer of your battery yet?

Yes Sir, I have checked the battery specification they mentioned only bulk and float voltage and did not mention the equalizing voltage and it's period.

It's 12V Hyundai tall tubular battery 155 AH.

Hello Anil, thank you for your excellent list of questions. I will create a dedicated video on this, and let you know once it is online. All the best for now, Jesse.

@@SolarSolution Thanks a lot sir 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
