We use the factory solar controller and/or the factory PD-4050 controller for normal charging, and a Vector 1089A digital battery charger for equalization. Peak voltage in that mode is 16.2, temperature compensated.

It may also come in handy as a primary or secondary power source if I need to start using a CPAP machine. 😤. It should also be useful as a backup power source at home during a utility power outage. I’d...
