stupid question on PL20 solar controller

Sorry I assumed you might know what it meant but just in case

I should have added that AGM means Absorbed Glass Mat...so in other words it is not a liquid battery......the "liquid" is absorbed in the glass mat making it stable and non serviceable... The PL20 handle them well

I know what the acronym means, but dont know if it is a liquid acid type or gel?

If not either of the above what settings would you set the pl20 at???

I was hoping someone had already worked all this out so I could copy with out having to search the entire world for the info

you were no bloody help...lol

A better and more common term for a "liquid" battery is a "flooded battery".
An AGM battery does have 'liquid' but it is all absorbed into a glass mat.
Plasmatronics use both terms "liquid electrolyte" and "flooded" in their manual as being the same thing.

thanks Allan....but what setting?

As others have said, the PL20 is fully programmable from Setting 4, but frankly, I cannot be bothered with detailed custom settings to charge a battery, I just take the easy path.
So for an AGM battery I would use Setting 1 and be done with it.
But if you want to be more precise then you need to obtain Fullrivers battery specs and brave the PL20's elaborate programming with which I cannot be of assistance! Sorry.

I guess I figured that bit out, but what are the settings?

Google is your friend.

From the DC120-12 spec sheet

Charge at 24A or less to between 14.5 and 14.9V
Float at 13.6 to 13.8V

Both specs are at 25 degC and as others have said, are best temperature-compensated.

Cheers

but what settiings are they are the PL20

Look guys...I know the PL20 is programable but what are the settings...the codes are too confusing...i was hoping someone had already done all this and could sell me the settings for the PL20 to suit the AGM

getting close...thanks Racey

I have sent them an email and await their reply
