I would not use longer than 2 hours. It also depends on your average charge bulk current. Lower bulk current needs less absorb time, but there will be longer charging time
6 FAQs about [Absorption time for solar battery charging]
What happens when a solar battery is fully charged?
When Bulk Charging is complete and the battery is about 80% to 90% charged, absorption charging is applied. During Absorption Charging, constant-voltage regulation is applied but the current is reduced as the solar batteries approach a full state of charge. This prevents heating and excessive battery gassing.
What happens at the end of absorption charging?
At the end of Absorption Charging, the battery is typically at a 98% state of charge or greater. Float charging, sometimes referred to as “trickle” charging occurs after Absorption Charging when the battery has about 98% state of charge. Then, the charging current is reduced further so the battery voltage drops down to the Float voltage.
What is the absorption charge voltage of a battery?
Often the absorption charge voltage of a battery does not exceed the gassing voltage limit (approximately 14,4 V for a fully charged 12 V battery).
What is the absorption time of a Phoenix Charger?
The absorption time of a Phoenix Charger or Phoenix Multi will adapt itself as follows: after each period of bulk charge (= the charger has reached its maximum current) an absorption period of 20 times the the bulk charge period will follow, with a maximum set at, for example, 4 hours.
Does charging a battery with a fixed absorption time work?
Charging a battery with a fixed absorption time works well as long the battery has been, on average, substantially discharged before a recharge cycle is started. In several applications however a fixed absorption time can lead to overcharging, which will reduce service life.
How much voltage does a solar battery need to be charged?
During bulk charging for solar, the battery’s voltage increases to about 14.5 volts for a nominal 12-volt battery. When Bulk Charging is complete and the battery is about 80% to 90% charged, absorption charging is applied.
