Renogy Charger Settings for Trojan T-105
When I first got my Renogy Portable Solar Suitcase, I had a single 12v battery and just hooked it up. Then I started reading the manual and found that the charger had a default battery type of AGM.
After much wrestling with the charger menu system, I found where I could change to Flooded and did that. Then I had a charger fault indication of incorrect voltage. Sure enough, it had somehow been set to 24v while I was thrashing thru the menu. Not knowing what else I had done, I did a factory reset, then changed to Flooded and things were good.
But last week, I upgraded to dual Trojan T-105 six volt batteries. I remembered reading that each manufacturer had their own charging specs and went to Trojan and found the specs were significantly different than your average 12-volt.
Back to the Renogy menu and manual and found I could only change charging parameters by selecting User for battery type. I beat through the settings, changed the charging settings (out of several others) and when I tried to save it, Illegal Parameters! Fired off an email to Renogy, but went back to the manual and menu. I found the Trojan settings exceeded the default limits on a couple of other parameters, made the changes and Success! I have emailed these settings to Renogy for review, but here is what I have for now:
Over Volt.Disc: 16.0v
Charg Lmt: 15.5v (was 15.0)
Over Volt.Rect: 15.5v (was 15.0)
