6V deep cycle batteries
Have had som very overcast weather the last 4 days, batteries down to 82% in morning back to 95% afternoon, how long can this be don before a 100% recharge becomes essential. Frank

Solar 600W I am running a domestic 314l Samsung inverter fridge. Overnight all op usage around 14-16% 80A. As my generator was stolen I just wanted to check how long without damaging batteries. Back on a powered site for now. Thanks all.

Note on P7: This selects which of two standards is used for the TM-2030 to register when the battery is "charged". L3 or L4
If L3 is chosen: this is the "easier" condition: It will cause the green "charging" light to flash (indicating "meets charging parameters") when the voltage exceeds P1 value, and simultaneously the charging amps is less than P2 % times P3. The green light will stop flashing as soon as this standard is not being met. In this case the green flashing light means "batteries presently meet charged criteria."
If L4 is chosen: a higher standard is required to be "charged." First the L3 standard must be met. Then next the overcharge percentage in P20 must also be met before the green "charging" light will flash. It will then continue to flash until the "Percent Full" display goes to 97% or lower. In this case the green flashing light means "batteries were charged and they haven’t yet discharged below 98% full."
