RE: Staying Focused!😊 My Actifit Report Card: October 1 2024

It certainly can, that's for sure! Thanks a lot again, @silvertop, and me too! For the moment we do, though the batteries haven't been lasting through the night lately. Hopefully it will all be rectified very soon! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Sounds like the batteries haven’t been getting full charge hopefully this will be rectified soon!👍😊

Apparently the charge controllers weren't calibrated correctly to the batteries, which seems like it damaged them over time, so they're not working at full capacity. Thank you, me too. I'm soooooooo tired to dealing with an unreliable solar electrical system! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Can you recalibrate the voltage on the charge controller?
Usually with lead acid batteries, they will recover overtime if they get charged fully!😎

Yes, we can. What apparently happened is that we were overcharging them. We recalibrated to their recommended level, but then they rarely charged fully. I still have to reprogram the Vircon device, as it doesn't read the batteries completely accurately.

That's good to know that the batteries may recover over time. That would be a very good thing! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

It’s an ongoing adjustment with batteries, especially living in the Pacific Northwest Lol🙄
We have entered the time of year where I need to be careful. We are getting less solar electric 😮

That's very helpful to know. We're still learning as we go. Yeah, we want our solar electric system functioning correctly again before the lower light of winter. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
