Heart freedom 25 bulk charge rate
I am trying to figure out if my coaches old stock inverter/charger is working correctly.
The link 2000 panel shows a discharge of 278 amp hours. Two hours of gen run time I am at 158 roughly.
The charger literature states 130 amp bulk charge.
Std factory cabling. New military ends. New 8g8d MK gels. Measured capacity of 680 amp hours.
I understand it switching to accept charge at 14.10 volts which is at -75 amp hours as the charger has no battery temp input so it ramps down earlier than a later unit with the temp input but at a nominal 70 temp which is the default setting and setting the units charge efficiency at automatic 90% I do not see the rated higher charge rate.
The 160 amp alternator seems to charge the batteries much faster than the charger.
I would like to know if anyone actually gets 100-130 amp hours input to a known good set of three gel 8ds.
Link is set for type two gels which is fast charge.
I do not see an adjustable bulk charge rate in the panel.
Gen is at 110 volts minimum.
No breakers appear popped on the inverter itself unless they could be bad internally?
No one may have noticed this with this old inverter or maybe they have?
Have no access to an amp meter to go over the cabling currently as my guru buddy was rewiring a badly done Prevost marathon conversion and in a bad mood.
Marathon did fine in 1989 but the local limo companies new interior electrical work was horrible so my buddy is fixing it.
Only two thermostats where the system has four zones type stuff.
