Hi Everyone, hoping @victron
might have this info.
I would like to know if Victron chargers are designed with a Duty Cycle in mind?
That is to say, can I run for example, an IP22 12V 30A charger 24/7, or is it designed for maybe 6 hours use per day, which would be a 25% duty cycle per day.
I would liek to know, just so I can correctly specify chargers that will cope well with heavy loads.
As far as I'm aware no duty cycling, I believe most simply throttle down depending on temperature.
Personally Either allow good cooling - passive or active and or if planning on high constant loads oversize charger to minimize any throttling.
Also they switch down to float once battery full.
