Ron Roger's said: "First, a while back I found on either on the Trojan
site or the Xantrex site that you should not float Trojan deep-cycle
batteries.. I had a charger
which allowed me to turn that phase off"
====================================
I have four Trojan T-125 6-volt batteries in a house bank being charged by
a Heart 2500 controlled by a Link 1000. When plugged in to dock power,
the float voltage seems to rest at 1.370 to 1.380. I have to add about a
gallon of water every 3-4 months to these batteries.
Like Jim, I'm afraid I'm killing the Trojans by floating them at too high
a voltage, but thus far, I haven't been able to adjust that voltage
downward using the Link 1000.
Questions to the list:
a. How can I adjust the float voltage downward?
b. What voltage should the float be?
c. In view of Ron's comment above, would I be better to just turn off
the "charge" function when I am in my slip after bringing up the house
bank to full charge?
Regards Robby []
