Why would my Summit 2 Charger say this State of Charge?
My Summitt II charger is showing a 52% State of Charge measurement when my onboard & handheld volt meters both show 50.1%, which according to every online chart would imply an 80%+ state of charge. Does the charge have a different way to measure state of charge? I want to make sure I treat my batteries well so that they last but there is a MASSIVE difference between 50.2V being 80%+ and 52% state of charge.
This was after a 9 mile run this morning at 20+ mph with me and my kids on my 2015 48vTXT with new Trojans (60 - 80 cycles on them). Thanks for any thoughts and advice. |

Re: Why would my Summit 2 Charger say this State of Charge?
I'm not 100% sure of this, so you'll probably have to contact Lester or the vendor you got the charger from, but I suspect the charger is looking at the On-Charge voltage to estimate the SoC while the charge is in progress and the charts are based on At-Rest voltage 12 hours after charger shuts off to estimate SoC.
According to the attached Trojan battery charging profile, an On-Charge voltage a bit under 2.35VPC (Volts per Cell), or about 56.4V for a 48V pack (24 Cells) is a SoC of 90% In other words, I'm pretty sure the charger is counting apples while the charts are counting oranges. --------------- BTW: SoC charts are battery brand specific. Crown, Exide, Rolls, Trojan and US Battery all have different voltages at 100% SoC. |
