    20 watt 22.4volt 1.14 amp solar cell recharging a 3.2 volt lithium iron phosphate 100 Amp/hr cell .

    Manual on a dead cell. .65 volts start. Mostly trying to see if it will revive.

    Left cell is 12.7 off a 4 amp
    Buck converter on the top lid

    The battery cell always fooled my digital charger into thinking it was a 1.2 volt ni-cad. Got it up to 2.65 on the 20 volt solar. Now attempting to charge at 3.5 volts 6 ramps with the solar powered buck converter.
    Solar charged up to 2.90 volts at dusk.
    Set up for 8 hour tonight on a 1 amp lithium digital charger. Built for the D cell size 36660 traditional battery cells.

    Mostly to see how long it will hold a charge.
