You could argue that the bulk phase could also be completely omitted in such use but I hardly ever see more than about an amp going in until it reaches set voltage. That takes about two hours or so after sunrise, then a very short stay in absorbtion and the rest of the day it's in float. All voltages temperature compensated of course. The Sargent manuals state the chargers are "compatible with AGM batteries" which clearly isn't the way the battery manufacturers see it. Every topline AGM Leisure battery battery manufacturer insists on a minimum 14.7v and Victron Energy suggest 14.9v gets longer life and a fuller charged battery. span>
- Room available: Be sure to select a battery that will fit the space in your caravan or
cutoff to protect battery from severe damage. You should not rely on this cut off level during normal operation, but manage your power consumption to a discharge level of 10V." I am not 100% sure, but think the battery has similar construction to the Banner Energy Bull, also a high Antimony content battery that drinks like a fish. It also suffers premature failure and has had reports of high fluid loss, especially when long term charged. how long you usually use them for.
- Cycle life: The number of times the battery can be discharged to 50% then fullySo we need to survey when and where they use the vehicle and what electrical items they want to deploy. We can then work out the daily Ah consumption and then find a power source for the daily power drawn. There are several built in presets you can choose from for various battery types and then there are custom presets. I seem to remember (can't confirm as the MH is currently somewhere in Serbia with another family member) that default absorbtion period for built in presets is 6 hours. Voltages depend on the battery type chosen. In any case, that period is always considered as maximum allowed and is hardly ever seen in MH practice unless you discharge deeply. But if you plan on using a lot of electric gadgets I suggest you draw most of electricity during daytime with excess solar, rather than night.
less than 12.4V is deemed as deeply discharged and the use of a smart charger is advisable.
State of health testing should be carried out using a suitable conductance type tester. This type ofC. Charge the battery at the recommended charge rate. If you cannot set the recommended rate, extend or reduce the charging time on a pro rata basis. For example, if the recommendation is to charge the battery at 4.0A for 6 hours (24Ah = 4.0 x 6), charge the battery for 12 hours if you can only set the charger at 2.0A (24Ah = 2.0 x 12). There was a brief glimmer of UK Charger technological enlightenmentwhen Sargent introduced the excellent Dutch designed and built Sargent EC325 charger, which boosted the voltage of the charger to up to 18v, if it thought the battery needed fast charging. Very clever, very well made unit. safely monitor and maintain your leisure battery when it’s not in regular use.
