What is the voltage out of the LOAD terminal?

[New KID On The Block]

my output to the battery bank is nominal 24v. My open input is 6 x 22.5v.
I'm confused as to what voltage is the output to LOAD terminal? Is the output configurable?

thanks!

Well I did not find a definitively stated voltage, but , it depends on the battery voltage , see the bottom of page 15 in the manual, there is a  max of 400 Watts... so  if a 12v system then you will see 33.333 A max,  at 24v and 400 W, 16.66A.. from what I read the max V will be whatever the CC is sending to the battery.  there is no mention of configurabillity that I saw....

thanks Westbranch for your input. So it sounds like it's going to be around 24v for my system as I'm hooked up to a 24v battery bank.

The reason I ask is because I was contemplating adding a small DC computer fan, connected to the LOAD terminal, on top of the heat sink of the KID. But I need to figure out at what voltage the load terminal outputs to be able to decide what fan to purchase.

The load is limited to 30 amps regardless of the voltage.  I am seeing +20 amps to my load running at 24 volts (27.3) using the "Float on" mode.

I'll check my load to see what voltage I see when it is powered.

The Load terminals are at the battery voltage,  with a small voltage drop in the FET  switches -- the smaller the current drawn from these terminals,  the less drop in the FETs,  and therefore the closer to battery V is the voltage.

In My Opinion.    FWIW,    Vic

Yes, that's the info I was looking for. Basically I needed to know if I can run a 12v DV fan from the LOAD given that I have a 24v battery bank connected to the KID. I suppose it'll still work but the fan will probably be running extremely fast and making too much noise.

Yeah, but not for all that long. Then it'll go quiet.

I agree with Vic,

I checked my load voltage and it is 26.9 while the batteries are 27.4 in float.  I get the same 26.9 wether I am using float on or PWM divert.

Highflyer, thanks for checking.
