I am a little confused, is it the batteries or the charger that is giving you
problems. Perform a charge cycle and measure the charge current and charge
voltage. Check the specific gravity, resting voltage before starting, perhaps
the charger is going to absorb volts and droping to float?
Hello Bob,
Yes I have deep cycled the batteries. I only mentioned the 12.7
because above that voltage it will skip the absorb charge. Interstate
batteries, and all the connections are good and tight, specific
gravity all good as well.
I was thinking maybe it is an intermittent
Hello Darryl,
Yes the battery charger is going to absorb for a full cycle then to
float, but the problem is the battery charger is set to 14.4, but the
battery bank only gets to 13.8 for the absorb cycle then goes to
float. I unplugged the BTS thinking that was bringing the Voltage
I have had real bad luck with Interstate Batteries. That aside here are some
further ideas.
What type of an external charger are you using? if it is a shop type
charger, they don't behave the same as the 3 stage charger in a good
inverter and you can't compare them directly.
The best test would

Hi Bob,
I put on an old Todd charger with Voltage regulation, but not absorb
and float. I can change the voltage up or down as needed. Changing
out the remote is a good idea. I do have another Magnum inverter at
another location, but was trying to avoid another

A client has six SR-100 modules, about 1999 vintage. Based on some primitive
field testing, I think all six are slumpy on power delivery so I want to
help the customer initiate a warranty claim.
I'm aware that SolarWorld is the latest name for that product line, but
S-World
Marco and Mick,
I don't think the issue is whether SolarWorld wants the liability. They have
the liability. They bought the company. This is not like GE Energy where
they were very careful to just buy AstroPower's equipment in a fire sale. I
still think GE is liable, but I'm sure their lawyers
