schnoodle Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Morning folks. Does anyone know if it is safe to use a Wind turbine with a charge controller on Pylon Lithium ion batteries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Energy-Jason Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Only A Pegasus Bornay wind Turbine or Kestrel with their midnight controllers. They can be made compatible with Lithium. Sincerely Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnoodle Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Thanks for your response. I have a Kestrel turbine and it came with a charge controller. will see if it is the Midnight one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMcGarry Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hi, I have two chinese controllers and a midnite, when the midnite gets the battery to 14.4 (4s Lifepo4) It will start free spinning the turbine, I'm using some resistors and a dumpload controller to stop this from happening. I also have two chinese wind controllers which are mppt dc- dc they work very well and they have an internal dumpload I have all of the controller directly connected to batteries as going through the BMS caused me an overvoltage situation on the device side of the bms. which made 50v go to my 12v devices ! good fun that was. This pylon batteries probably wont allow to bypass bms connection so you might have to set a dumpload controller lower that the bms overvoltage setting. The best thing to do is to test it out to see what happens but make sure you are there to make a change if things do go wrong. if you want to look at what controllers I have heres the link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwW9OBRok9OYV9vaZfBMniQ I have three turbines all chinese. Hope this helps Jon Yellow Measure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
