I am after some corroborating evidence from a manufacturer that supports this idea. It makes logical sense in that yea, you dont have that much sun during the day to charge the batteries. But what about the longevity of the battery with this charging scheme? Forcing current into a battery like this from what i have read can cause damage, and i cant find any reference on the internet to the manufacturers revised plans for charging with solar.
So its either damage due to undercharge because of not enough time for absorption charge, or damage due to the localised gassing and heating of forcing what is basically an equalisation charge every day, which is bad as far as i know.
Equalization charges arent done very often for this exact reason, yet in that article, you are basically equalize charging every day? Or is that point where you have to wind the voltage back as soon as gassing starts?
Is gassing that bad? (researching battery watering systems)
Or is gassing the symptom of something else worse?
Cheers!
