Hi everyone please help with 2 questions ?
1. Can I plug load into a battery that is charging (either solar charger or ac charger) ?
2. Can I connect AC charger and solar charger controller to a battery at the same time while they are both charging the battery ?

1. Yes.

2. Yes. However its best if both chargers are outputting same voltage, 2ndly careful not to exceed the charge current limit.

For lead acid batts, its usually 0.1c for flooded batt and 0.15c for agm. While for lithium its is 1c

Thank you for your response but how do you ensure that both batteries are outputing same voltage ?
The AC charger is a 10A 12V battery charger charging a 200ah battery while the solar charger is a 60A solar charge controller with 250W solar panel

Thanks brother, so what kind/capacity of solar panels are you using and how many?

The original post you initially quoted shows a Schneider Conext SW inverter which is not a hybrid inverter, that is, it does not contain an inbuilt solar charge controller so you cannot connect solar panels directly on it. If you are planning on purchasing this awesome inverter and plan on using it with solar panels, you should also purchase a separate solar charge controller to handle that part of the system.

I'm currently using random Chinese solar panels at the moment. Currently, it is performing grin

''

its best if they outputting same voltage, not critical.,,so you can harness 100% the combined charging amps. shome shitty 12volts charger out only 13.4volts, heck i hv been sold a useless 12volts charger that output 12.8volts only

a 12v battery charger outputs upto 14.6volts depending on model/algorithm.your charge controller, you can set it to what you want

Thank you, brother.

Can you share with me the capacity of the solar charge controller that you are using and the number/capacity of the solar panels?

I believe that being a 48-volt system that you are using at least 4 batteries, right?

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by litaninja(m): 9:24pm On Jul 08, 2022
My good people. Please I need epp o.

After 2 years of constant power supply with my MPPSolar 3024GK, it developed a fault about a month ago. I've been out of town receiving alerts from my telegram bot and HomeAssistant jeje when all of a sudden 9th of June everything went silent. LOL. Apparently there was some heavy rain during the might and there may have been a power surge since some PHCN meters and DCB breakers tripped in the neighbouring flats as well.

Now my MPPsolar has a 32! error warning (manual says its a remote display communication error) and an F09 error (manual says its a soft bus start error).

Luckily, I have another 3024 planned for a separate installation (awaiting funds) sitting somewhere and I've borrowed it for the time being.

Manufacturer says to replace main board and display unit and they've sent the bill, but I will like to know if anyone can refer an actual service centre or correct technician that can handle this hybrid inverter BEFORE i commit dollars cry

I should be able to reach a service centre or if anyone personally can refer a technician at Arena make i breeze enter there.

Pls help oooo, I cannot become PHCN sacrifice!

Hi everyone,

Can someone clarify what type of batteries could be charged with this battery charger ?
I mean if Ritar, Qantas, fullriver batteries can be charged using this, please clarify?

Thanks.

it can charge normal deep cycle and gel battery. it can not charge quanta effectively, as quanta requires slightly lower charge voltage.

Valto:

Thank you for the clarification.
So if I want to charge Ritar for example, will I set it to "Deep cycle" or "Absorbed / sealed gel" ?
I am just confused with the way the charger is annotated.

It says
1. Absorbed Sealed Gel electrolyte Regular
2. Deep Cycle Marine RV.

And from what I saw, Ritar battery is classified as AGM Deep Cycle Maintenance Free.
Since AGM means absorbed glass mat so if I want to charge Ritar for example, will it be set to 1. or 2.
