<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Well, if had been set up at 48V instead
of 24V, it would have been a well-designed system. Would have cost
less, too - two parallel strings of batteries instead of four for
the same capacity, and three controllers instead of five. But as
it is...<br>
<br>
Your array is large enough to achieve roughly a C/10 rate when
charging (8,000W/24 Vnom = 333 A; 820 A/hr X 4 strings (shudder)
is 3,280 A/hr; 3,280/333 = C/9.8), so that you can set a fairly
strong charge rate.<br>
<br>
I'd do 29.2-29.4, depending on loads, 4 hours of absorption with a
Done Amps at ~2% (66-75A) and float at 26.6-26.8. EQ at 31.2,
manual initiation.<br>

Having stuck my neck out, now let me learn from the rest of you.<br>
