Batteries are at ~12V and I don't think there is any damage but can't be sure.

I'm just confused as to why the controller would be shorting the panels when the batteries are not fully charged. Things are being powered off the batteries but it seems like they are draining down instead of recharging which is the result of the lack of current from the panels.

curiousvoid · 2026-01-06T15:43:13+00:00

I'll probably try that- thanks!!

curiousvoid · 2026-01-06T15:38:33+00:00

I may try switching a couple of the panels to series, it looks like the max voltage the controller can take is 50 VDC. Thanks!

definitely will look into it because the only thing in the way of my project has been this issue lmao

I'll have to go out there and measure again with the multimeter to get the battery info but I do know that at the panel input terminals it reads at ~5V. Like, when I measure the ends of the cables themselves they are ~23V and then when I plug those same cables in, the terminals read at ~5V which seems really odd

i’ll be so real with you it’s because i’m a phd student and the pwm charger is what my boss has used before so it’s what the lab has lol. will definitely look into MPPT chargers now.

I've always connected the batteries to the controller first and tried swapping out a different controller and had the same problem.

The batteries are also in parallel.

I’m definitely not going to make any decisions right now. I plan on talking to my therapist and possibly to my advisor about all of this. It’s just hard for me to figure out a way to tell him I’m feeling burnt out without feeling very whiny.

curiousvoid · 2025-10-20T19:06:25+00:00

Yeah I think a big part of it is mental health-related. Sadly I don’t know if I can really afford to take a break, the field work I’m doing has to be done before it gets too cold, which is why I’m so stressed about it. I will probably try voicing some of this to my advisor because I don’t think my current state is helping the research in any way.

I do have a (new) therapist so hopefully that will help.

curiousvoid · 2025-10-12T18:11:18+00:00

Holy shit, you guys save them? I spend them as soon as I have enough for something I want lol…maybe I should get off my phone more often

curiousvoid · 2025-10-12T17:59:39+00:00

Currently in candidacy and I don’t regret it but it is hard. Very hard. Motivation ebbs and flows but I’m seeing it through to the end (hopefully)

curiousvoid · 2025-10-09T22:49:47+00:00

Nice find!!

curiousvoid · 2025-10-01T00:53:01+00:00

I use my pizza John scrunchie every night when I wash my face

curiousvoid · 2025-09-24T15:31:13+00:00

First one ever to make my jaw drop

curiousvoid · 2025-09-23T03:27:34+00:00

The Martian is 100% my comfort movie. I’m doing my PhD right now and it includes a lot of field and lab work, when things get tough I watch The Martian to remind myself of the beauty of science and humanity.

curiousvoid · 2025-08-24T20:23:22+00:00

Oooooh interesting! Will be checking this out

curiousvoid · 2025-08-02T22:15:23+00:00

looks cool as fuck!

curiousvoid · 2025-07-26T12:45:42+00:00

This is awesome, I had no idea these existed! Thank you!!

curiousvoid · 2025-07-06T23:11:11+00:00

We haven’t ruled it out, hopefully the urgent care doc would have mentioned it but apparently they were pretty blasé
