Okay, i have to slow down and visualize what you’re saying. In the meantime, I charged the LiFePO batteries on my 20a. GFCI protected outlet. Here are the results:
Duration(min) SOC V Amps W
0 83% 13.1 -.16
1 83% 14.2v 26.4 376
2 83% 14.2v 24.5 350
4 83% 14.3v 22.8 326
6 84% 14.3v 22.4 322
9 84% 14.3v 21.4 306
120 99% 14.4v 10.3 149

So I find it interesting that circuit breaker didn’t trip nor did the GFCI which can be sensitive on this 120v circuit over 20a? I’m trying to determine what my next step should be to remedy this issue. Do i need to be charging only on 30amp 120v? Is there a way to regulate the input current at all? I did change the Wildkat dip switch from AGM to Li based on Best Converters recommendations and didn’t see any improvement in the input amperage side but I didn’t have the BMS working at the time but I know the AGM switch also shut down my generators? I appreciate the discussion but are trying to extrapolate the nuggets of information that will help me fix the situation. I am grateful for the information. Thanks
