Roughly an average of 42 amps for 4.25hrs, I guess you didn't get that for the first few hrs so it must have been charging hard in the last 2 hrs, gotta love the high acceptance rate of those lithium batteries. Now what are you going to use the rest of the days solar for, heating the water or run the air con.... or both? These lithium batteries have brought problems all of their own eh, you never had to think of these things before they came along, perhaps you should go back to lead acid so you don't have to think about these things :lol:

If you have any problems with heat if you have excess input after water heating.
I have a coupla big "dumps"here from solar/wind/panels in yachttie days.

They what marine Tech installed for such on boat.

In most cases I'd expect the excess solar was due to long hrs of sun so the air con would be the other load to use up the excess solar. Big heat sink dumps were the way many yrs back but these days even wind uses electronic control to limit the output by either pulling the generator out of the wind or changing the prop pitch  or simply locking the output so the load is greater than that generated and simply stops the turbine spinning fast enough to generate anything, sort of turning the generator into a motor using the current it generated to drive the motor. 

I'm guessing the big heat sinks were in the water at all times to dump the heat, no where for that other than the ho****er tank on an RV

Terry, you had hot water joined as one word - check which letters were replaced by **** and you'll see why the overzealous forum censor software blanked them out.
