Adding More Solar Panels
i'm looking at Amazon at the Windy Nation 100w and the Eco Worthy 100w panel both are 100w, specs are close 17.4 working volts 5.75 max working amps versus 17.9 working volts and 5.56 working am...

thats my only gripe
newer controllers work different were "Vtabs" is charge and float and the controller will attempt to maintain the set volts
this is advantages where you have daytime power use, but must be carefully selected and can not be as high as I like , because of when you are away from the RV and not using power and don't want to subject the batteries to many hours at 14.6v

I've been running a PWM system at a constant, temp compensated voltage for many years. First with 2 group 24's at 15v and now with 2 GP2's at 14.6v (my controller does not have a 14.8v setting). At most, there has been 1 tiny bubble per minute per cell. Its great to see the Trimetric show battery self-regulation down to .1 amp in the late afternoon.
Remember, bulk/abs voltage is not full time 24/7, darkness shuts charging down a bit.
Try it for a week.
