Do I need to chg OBC going 4 12v to 6 8v?
Question for all you experts. Going from 4 12v to 6 8v. does the OBC need to be changed? What problems would I have if I stay with the one already in? Any advise guys? Thanks

According to David (TahoeDawgZ71 ) yes you have too. He is a head CC technician. You could PM him for details. Here is one post.

You don't "Have" to, but I would.... You're not gonna get the full potential and run-time from a set of 8 Volts if they're charged with an OBC that's programmed for 12 Volts

Thanks Tahoe, when you say, won't get the full potential, meaning what?

Re: Do I need to chg OBC going 4 12v to 6 8v?
So what you are saying is that a set of 8 volt batteries must require a different charging algorithim or a different finishing voltage than a set of 12 volt batteries even though they both have the same number of 2 volt cells? Just trying to be clear because I have had a question about this also.

According to another post the algorithm used for the 12v v 8v is the same.
