Hi,
I have connected a Victron Bluesolar 60 W panel via a Victron Bluesolar PWM controller to a 140 Ah campervan battery.
After connection (battery first), the controller went into Bulk mode (fast-flashing LED) and after a few hours (panel in the sun) it is still in Bulk mode. The battery voltage seems stable at 13,2 V.
Is this expected behavior? The battery is OK, a few years old but well-maintained.
Thx!
Well, a 60W panel can produce about only about 4-5A. When it is hot, then it is rather only 4A or even a little bit less. So it is depending on the battery and how "full" it was as bulk charging a 140Ah battery with "only" 4A could take some days... e.g. if you load 10h with 4A you have 40Ah... so, as mentioned above, it is depending on how full the battery was. and 13,2V seem not to be full I would guess...
