Hi,

After a lot of searches on Internet, I've found so many different answers that I've decided to try with your forum to find the truth !

I own a bank of two 12-volt Calcium/Calcium batteries connected in parallel and I wonder which voltages I must use for the boost, float and equalize phases for this specific type of batteries ?

And I will appreciate to know how long in minutes the boost and equalize phases should be configured too...

Thanks in advance for your very appreciated help, whishing to all of you a lot of sun for your PV panels,
Germain

Hi Germain,

Calcium batteries seem to be very tricky and very hard to find information on.
Tried looking up manufacturers specifications and unfortunately do not have any results.

The only information we can seem to find on these batteries recommended charge would be suggested on this site:
www.diyelectriccar.com/forums/showthread.php/leadcalcium-battery-charging-and-variable-voltage-24792.html

Take a look at post #6 and that should at least point you in the right direction.
Wish we could do more to help on this.

Kind Regards,

Hi Austin and thank you for your fast response !

I have tried myself many times to get some informations from the supplier without success, from the manufacturer it is halas the same...

And I have browsed your suggested thread yesterday, just a few hours before to contact Renogy :-)

At least I have seen that your user manuals and downloadable documents are the most complete and clear found ever, compliments !

If I find accurate tips about this subject, I promise to publish them within this thread to share them...

In the meantime, if one of your forumers has any data, I will be pleased to discover here such kind of information !

Many thanks anyway and all the best,
Germain from Geneva (Switzerland)
