Re: Stus-List 3D Print a Ritchie Compass Replacement Cover

[Dan via CnC-List]

So far so good! - i've already dropped it a few times and it's getting
direct sunlight all day. I think the coating of gflex epoxy, primer and 2
coats of tremclad make a good barrier though.

I'm 39 but I turn 40 in 1 week! :/

My girlfriend and I had sailed through the area Saturday and Sunday. Luckly we 
missed it. On a side note in front of her place on Rich Passage are the remains 
of submarine nets left over from either the cold war or WWII.

Stus-List Solar and batteries

[David via CnC-List]

So I set up my 50 watt solar panel and controller and when I come aboard the 
boat the batteries are reading 13.1 13.2. I thought a battery at rest read  
12.7 fully charged.  Even now at sunset they are reading over 13.

Is my controller cooking the batteries?

Thanks in advance.

David,

Not at all. If they were over 15V, then I’d worry. 13’s are perfect. 

All the best, 

Edd

Re: Stus-List Solar and batteries

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

All lead acid batteries exhibit what I believe is called a surface charge
immediately after charge.  When doing any battery condition testing it is
important to "burn off" the surface charge OR allow the batteries to rest
for about 24 hours.  At max charge rate (bulk charge stage) you will see
voltage clime until it reaches as high as 14.6 or 14.7, particularly when
on the engine or shore power charger (maybe not on a 50w solar panel.)
 Once the bulk is complete (80% charged) the voltage will hold at 14.7ish
through the absorption stage and the max current will taper off until about
2amps.  Once 2 amps is reached the charger changes to float stage which is
usually ~13.3v.  Assuming your charging system is large enough to fully
make up for the usage, 13.3v is where you should normally find your
batteries while on charge.  After sundown 13.3v will decay to 12.7v.

I have one of these on my solar charge system. It makes seeing and
understanding what is going on much easier.  This particular model is nice
since no external shunt is required.  You could even get two and then
monitor the loads and the charges.

Re: Stus-List Smartplug

[ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List]

Kudos to SmartPlug Systems.  After Ken sent me a contact number for the
company, I asked Terry about a new strain relief for my plug, which I
bought when it was first introduced, many years ago. He said that there
would be no charge, and a week later I received a package with a warranty
kit consisting of the strain relief and a new internal assembly, which has
an upgraded strain relief mechanism.
