Brian, Re: Do you know what the daily Ah consumption is, or alternatively what the daily DOD is on the batteries?: We don't have that data. The home has an E-Meter, but the programming settings were far enough off that I wouldn't trust the historic data.

Allan, Do you know what the daily Ah consumption is, or alternatively what the daily DOD is on the batteries? 830W of PV on a PWM controller should have a peak amperage of about 48A (830W รท 17Vmp = 48.82A). This is only about a C/18 charge rate, which is fairly low but should be workable as lo

Hi Allen, The absorption time is actually only 1 hour for the C-series controllers. Battery manufacturers are always the final authority on how their batteries should be charged. If they say you can charge at 14.2-14.4V indefinitely, then increase the float setting. Eric
