      I faced a similar question with a new bank just a couple of weeks
      ago. In my case I asked my distributor, and his response is below.
      He makes some interesting points, including a very different end
      amps than the factory's.<br>
      <br>
      We have received very good service from this distributor, in case
      any Wrenches are looking for a Concorde distributor.<br>

          Concorde provides good recommendations of voltage setpoints,
          which we follow. What is missing is a recommendation for
          absorb time.<br>
          <br>
          For one of our recent PVX-9159 24V off grid systems, I have
          changed the charge setpoints, but need to know how long
          minimum and maximum to set the Outback MX-60 charge controller
          to stay in absorption mode (at 2.38 vpc with temp
          compensation) to fully complete charging before switching to
          float. If the answer is that the battery can stay in
          absorption indefinitely, then I will set it to the charge
          controller's maximum duration of 4 hours.<br>
          <br>
          Could you ask Concorde for a recommendation? If an answer can
          be provided that includes guidance that is applicable to a
          variety of situations, that would be best.<br>
          <br>
          In this case the array is about 1500 watts, or about a C/15
          rate, not uncommon for a better off-grid system in our sunny
          region. <br>

      type="cite">Hello Mick,
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>I think your set-points for voltage are fine. The Rebulk is
        of little importance for an unoccupied property as voltage
        should be easily maintained.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>The bad news: In a nut shell you have told the MX charger to
        stop charging if the PV current drops below 45 amps or 0 to 60
        minutes after reaching the absorb setting. I don't think you can
        ever reach 100% SoC with this setup so the battery may have been
        deficit charged every day.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div><u>Absorb Time Limit, Min</u>:</div>
      <div>With AGM batteries, this setting should be determined by
        measuring <u>how much absorb time</u> it takes for the current
        to the battery to drop below 0.5% of the banks rated capacity.
        For example, a 1000 AH bank this would be 5 amps. If it takes 60
        minutes to reach this point, use that number for "Min". By
        leaving it at 0, the MX60 will choose the absorb time based on
        the bulk/absorb charge timer which may not be enough at an
        unoccupied property. Example, if the bulk time is only 30
        minutes, the absorb time is 30 minutes unless the "Min" is set
        higher.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div><u>Absorb Time Limit, Max:</u></div>
      <div>The factory default is 2 hours. This value needs to be at
        least 10 minutes longer than the "Min" time set above. One hour
        means that is the longest time the controller will stay in
        absorb.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div><u>Absorb End Amps (misc settings)</u></div>
      <div>Here's the real culprit. By setting this at 45 amps, you have
        told the controller to stop absorb charging 15 seconds after it
        starts if your current is less than 45A. Obviously this will
        leave the battery deficit charged unless the float current and
        sun hours remaining can make up this deficit. Reset this to
        zero, the factory default, and let the Min/Max settings control
        the charge.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Just a note on charging AGM's: My opinion is that the only
        reliable way to properly charge an AGM battery is by monitoring
        the current to the battery and adjusting the charge time
        accordingly. For this reason, I recommend charge controllers
        that have this function, like the Blue Sky Energy Solar Boost
        IPN controllers. With this method, you can force the absorb
        voltage to remain as long as necessary until the battery reaches
        100% SoC.</div>

          <br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
          Greetings, All~<br>
          <br>
          My client's string of SunXtender two volt AGM's won't hold a
          charge...after only two years! The prior AGM batteries also
          turned to toast prematurely. There must be a better way, so
          could we review the Outback charge setpoints? <br>
          <br>
          Side note: Delta-v from the highest 2v cell to the lowest
          shows a gap of only .148v during a charge cycle so cell
          imbalance is not the likely problem. I think they're all
          working together equally bad. <br>
          <br>
          A small amount of dry powder--light green color resembling
          verdegris finish on copper--can be seen around 30% of the +/-
          posts, in an amount smaller than 1/8 teaspoon. From this sign,
          I suspect that the cells have vented and dried out. The
          property is vacant 90% of the time so I am mostly focused on
          the MX60 solar charge controller as the culprit.<br>
          <br>
          This is an early vintage Outback controller, firmware version
          5.11. Temperature compensation is in place; automatic EQ is
          defeated. Bulk & absorption setpoints exactly match those
          requested by Concorde/SunXtender: 28.8 volts bulk/absorption
          & 26.4 volts Float. The controller does regulate at these
          voltage points so it's technically "working"--just grinding up
          batteries on a regular basis.<br>
          <br>
          The Concorde people do not furnish suggestions regarding
          absorption time or "rebulking" so that may be the source of
          trouble. Controller setpoints have the Absorption Time Limit
          set for "0 minutes minimum & 1 hour maximum". The
          controller is also set to "rebulk" the battery at a 23 volt
          trigger and there's an inscrutable setpoint called "End"
          that's set for 45 amps. I have a theory about the meaning of
          that but I'll keep the noise level down...<br>
          <br>
          If I recall correctly, the Outback end of charge routine in
          early days was to start a clock & see how long it takes to
          move the battery to the bulk/absorption voltage then apply an
          equal amount of time for an absorption charge before shifting
          to float. Steve Higgins may confirm if that is indeed the
          protocol for a version 5.11 controller but: has that method
          now been changed in the newer version Flexmax controllers? It
          seems those now have an absorption duration value that can be
          changed so maybe that's what we need--a replacement controller
          along with good information on the absorption duration and/or
          float setpoints, etc. <br>
          <br>
          I see that some controllers can even be set to not Float at
          all. Maybe that's better: run the charge then stop it all for
          the rest of the day. OR: thinking outside the box here...what
          about a controller that won't initiate charge cycle at all
          unless the battery voltage crests down to a trigger point. All
          I know for sure is that two sets of valuable batteries have
          now been ruined so "normal" charge setpoints are not working
          well in this situation.<br>
          <br>
          If some better electronics (such as blending in the Outback
          capacity monitor gizmo) might help, I'm all ears. Next time
          maybe I'll suggest flooded cells to the client instead of
          AGM's, but the cells are in a crawlspace that gets freezing
          cold at times. <br>
          <br>
          Thanks in advance for advice & suggestions. A second off
          grid client has a similar setup so I need to hotfoot it out
          there and tweak that (more recent) Outback controller to match
          the suggested setpoint revisions...before bad things happen
          again. <br>
