We had Batteries Plus, (Bandera Rd) of San Antonio, come out and install 6 new
Concorde Lifeline AGMs (4DA). They did a great job at a fair price and the
batteries are working great. This is our 2nd set of Concordes. The 1st set
lasted nearly 7 yrs and all things considered, I think I could have gotten 10
yrs out of them if I had turned off the chargers more often while parked.
Anyway, I have the original Trace 3000 watt inverter/chargers and they do seem
to be functioning properly. I want to be sure that the inverters are
(programmed with the Trace RC7 remote) properly programmed so I got out the
Trace manual and of course with my meager electrical skills I am now a bit
confused. I don't undestand how to set it for battery capacity. There are 6
options. The 1rst is Auto, then it goes from 125 amp hrs to 250 amp hrs and in
steps up to 1000 amp hrs. Let's see, I have 6 batteries rated at 210 amp hrs at
a 20 hr rate: 6 x 210 = 1260 amp hrs. So I set it at the max setting of 1000amp
hrs... or should I be setting it at the 250 amp hrs setting?
Thanks
