Hi Turion and all,
I have a few questions to see if a few things can be more or less "standardized" to get to a working system quicker, with less blind trial error.
For a 24V primary 3batt setup, have any of you measured what voltage you had across batt 3 while "in the zone"?
How many amps were you drawing from the primary and what size were your batts? Just trying to establish what a correct amp draw could be for a given primary size (C20,C5,...), based on observations from people who had it working.
Is there a particular voltage that the batts usually are at when the system seems not to draw anything from them? I mean did you get this with freshly charged batts also or do they need to discharge for a while until they reach say 12.2 or so volts?
I guess I haven't found a good bad batt yet, but with an older one I had completely discharged I did a test setup. Primary batts are two 9Ah motorcycle batts in series, motor is a johnson but don't know the specs only that it draws around 1.5 -2 Amps. I've also tried the diodes across battery 3 but I guess I have to parallel several of them (UF 5408) as they get very hot!
thanks for all your efforts guys!
regards,
Mario
