 The charging setpoint is set somewhat higher, ~14.2v.  This will result in minor outgassing and a bit more power (**76.18W** using the panel data above).  [[electrical:12v:charging#watering_batteries|Battery watering]] is mandatory. The charging setpoint is set somewhat higher, ~14.2v.  This will result in minor outgassing and a bit more power (**76.18W** using the panel data above).  [[electrical:12v:charging#watering_batteries|Battery watering]] is mandatory.
