Ah, 50% is what the Bluetooth monitor said but I'll take 70%!
Easiest way to see if the Ablemail is working?
- Thread starter Skyliner33
- Start date
Certainly doesn't look conclusive! What setting do you have the AMT on?
Mine is on setting 4, the default one, and won't start performing until the SB is under 12.3 volts.
Here's my cerbo plot from today so far, when the voltage goes below 12.3v you can see it going back up to 12.3, then down then back up etc! Tomorrow's plot will look like a wiggly straight line around 12.3v.
Standard setting. 4 I think.
Your 2nd plot doesn't look like the battery goes under 12.3. At 12.4+ the AMT won't kick in...
At what point should the AMT kick in? Below 12.2v?
As long as your LB is over 13v, the AMT will kick in at under 12.3v.
Must be working then. My van can sit unused for days at a time and the SB doesn't drop below 12.2 v. My LB stays above 13v -13.8v as the solar keeps it powered up.
It would be good to see the plot after a few days of the van being left alone undriven.
Mine is a different set up to most of you. It's a T5.1 so standard lead acid for the starter and an AGM for the leisure battery. 160W solar charging the leisure battery and an AMT-12 for maintaining the starter. Even with a different set up it shows that the AMT-12 is doing its thing. I would expect something very similar on a T6.
You can clearly see the starter being topped up every day even when it was raining most of the day on the 29th. The graph bottom right is the Victron solar charge state. First step is BULK, then ABSORPTION then FLOAT. Not sure what the big spikes are at the beginning of each day - assume its the Victron starting up. Bottom left is a new addition showing the total yield each day.
Oh, and yes - I do have an issue with the starter draining a bit quicker than I would like. Just too lazy to do anything about it with the AMT.
