[RE-wrenches] Go for a boost style charge controller

[Dana]

If it has a board there are 2 set screws that are adjustable [ 1- upper set
point & 2 lower set point for reconnect] and you need to read the current
voltage and then apply a simple formula [using a calculator] figure out the
setting to adjust it to. It helped to have 2 DVM's  along with a calculator.
It has been a long time since I had to set one of these and I have no memory
as to the formula. If you cannot find it I still Have an ANANDA Power panel
in the shop [new] that may have this style of CC and an instruction book but
I would have to rip into the box .  Let me know if you cannot find it easier
than that. If you cannot I will go rummaging.

 

I would suggest an Outback Flexware or like style upgrade, it would be a lot
kinder to the battery bank.

Thanks Dana and Brian,

I will look for a board next time I'm out.  I might try calling Bill
Barnickol if  necessary.

Does it have  a charge controller card mounted in the door?

Is there any way to adjust the voltage on the charge control of a Pulse
Power Center?
