That module will float and equalize the battery but as the voltage rises, the current will drop significantly. I used one 230 watt module for a year to charge a 24 volt battery with an 11 watt load on it and it worked fine. It is probably cheaper than buying two 50 watt 36 cell modules and putting them in series.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>David Katz<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>David Katz<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>CTO & Founder<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>AEE Solar Inc<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>P: 707 825-1200<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>F: 707 825-1202<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>dkatz@aeesolar.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>www.aeesolar.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>DISCLAIMER: <br>This communication, along with any documents, files or attachments, is intended for the use of only the addressee and contains privileged and confidential information.
