I've got a 24/3000/70. My charger is set to draw 15amps from the wall outlet. It's a 20amp circuit. I swear I used to see over 1000watts coming in on "AC IN 1" but now I'm only seeing about 600. It goes up and down if I increase or decrease the charge current, but shouldn't I be getting more wattage from 15amps while charging??
I am using Lithium batteries, I disabled "weak ac input"
EDIT: The charge rate only increases when the load increases. What's up with that?
If incoming power is dirty there will be additional losses. Also if "weak ac input" is enabled that will result in a pretty heavy hit in efficiency.
If the batteries are fully charged, and there are no DC loads, the charger will reduce its output since there is no where for the energy to go. Switching the inverter/charger off then on will briefly result in the bulk charge current until the battery absorption voltage is reached.
