Mopi on a 12v lead acid #21

Hi, before I plug everything in, can the Mopi be connected up to a 12v lead acid battery?! Thanks.

hamishcunningham commented 10 years ago

Does the type of battery need to be configured in any way before hooking it up?

hcunningham commented 10 years ago

you can configure it after booting

the "mopi" tool will guide you through the process

I am using a sealed lead acid battery. What do I enter for cell configuration? I have put in six cells - is that correct?

hamishcunningham commented 9 years ago

I think each cell is 2V when full -- so if you've a 12V battery then it is probably 6 cells, but a 6V battery is prob 3... hth h
