<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Lead acid battery typically recommended bulk charge is 10-15% of C20 for the flooded lead acid and 20 -25% of C20 for the sealed valve regulated lead acid.
Depending the application and the environment, these rates could be optimized, on a case by case basis. As the battery voltage raise to the absorption voltage (regulation voltage), the current automatically tappers due to the PWM or MPPT regulation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Off-grid standalone PV systems optimum designs feature 5-days autonomy at 80% DOD at the worst month-average low temperature. Off-grid PV-genset hybrids optimum
designs typically feature 2 to 3 days autonomy at 80% DOD same conditions. The purpose of the large battery bank is to take the best advantage of the solar energy when it is available to store Ah in the battery for a desired power supply system power availability
level. So the maximum current available from the PV array, after powering the load, is not wasted and sent into the battery during bulk charge and then tapered in as the voltage raise.

fail sooner. Perhaps Jamie or others could answer is there something that can be recharged fast? Capasitors are almost impossible to work with. Lead carbon? Ni Magnisum Cobalt?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">I 2nd what Ray Waters is saying. Much too soon, BMS will be an insane challenge, we rarely care about weight and footprint like the EV's do. Returning defective cells to China IF they accept
responsibility for the failure - I don't think so!! Sex appeal is overwhelming good judgement, one of the curses of our industry.<br>
