I looked the MC-614 over. It seems great EXCEPT it has no setting for lithium's. This means it will go into a float stage which they neither need nor want. I like the things it does; but when the Energy Management System opens its circuit because the batteries are "full", I need the regulator to open its circuit, too. Once the regulator does get up to speed, however, I need it running as full blast as the alternator is comfortable doing.
As a reminder, my aux alternator will be dedicated solely to re-charging the bank; it will be a 270 Amp or 300 Amp size; and will be trying to fill a Balqon 1,000 Ah bank. FYI, Balqon will be coming out with a better EMS specifically for vehicles smaller than big trucks and electric cars. It sounds like it'll be perfect for my van.
So, which setting did you use on the Balmar?
