Heart Interface

[Larry]

Hi Jay,
I would like to tell you of my experience with Heart... As you know I do
not have a BB yet... But , I do have a boat with a Heart 2500 Inv, Chgr, a 200
amp ample power alternator, link 2000R and 6 T 105's with a 12 volt starting
batt... I purchased my 2500 before Xantrec bought out Heart...
What I did was to have to incoming 30 amp power cord connect straight to the
chgr and then to the panels without adding any additional panels... I do not
have a generator, but do have a shut to add a generator, solor panels or wind
generator...
It works extremely well, when I disconnect from shore power the inverter
changes over automatically and sends AC power to all appliances that require
it...
Can this be set up in a BB the same way???

I am still using 6-6volt Trojan T-105s, so 660 amp hour capacity.

Interestingly, they are still working at well over 95% CEF (charge
efficiency factor).

The factory default CEF is 95% for startup. As the Link 1000
recognizes a more than 10% discharge and then recharges the
batteries, it re-calculates this charge efficiency factor.

As the factor reduces, say down to 85%, that would indicate that the
batteries are weakening. Or that the sulfide that accumulates on the
plates needs to be "boiled" off the plates using your "EQUALIZE"
mode on your inverter/charger.
