OCP amps on charge controller

Could this be true?

Not even remotely possible even in dreams. Kind of like you trying to pull a 110 car freight train 60 miles per hour across the country, is not going to to happen. :becky:

Mike, Thanks for the response.

But what I don't understand then, is what's the purpose of the load part of the charge controler for? If I'm not supposed to use that, can I just run the batteries straight to the inverter?

The Morningstar controller has wire block for connections from the panels, from the controller to the batteries, and to the load part, which I assume would be to directly power DC devices or run through an inverter to power AC devices. Is this not right?

Yes, the ballast in the fluorescent fixtures are probably part of the problem. They were installed in 1990-1991. I bet they're old, magenetic T12 ballast that's been replaced by the newer kinds (electronic T12 and T8). Was considering replacing the old with all T8 ballast/bulbs.

Would appreciate any additional advice you may have. Feel free to administer the dope slap for my rigged up system.

hi

this is Melody, the load terminals is designed for a DC loads, when the load are AC powered, customers have to connect the inverter to the battery but not to the charge controller, as to the surge current, charge controller will cut off the system as a protection.
