Batteries have held the last two nights well and in general.
However, since initially plugging in the IQ4 module and seeing the 14.7v bulk charge with generator on I have never seen that again or even the 14.1v it initially stepped down to. The batteries in theory we worse or atleast at a lower voltage than when it initially gave me the 14.7v. What I get now it usually 13.7v and occasionally drops down to 13.4v. Is this $20 IQ4 perhaps really smart to know based on things other than voltage level that I perhaps don't need the 14.7v or 14.1v and that the 13.7v is ok to bring them back up or is it not doing what it should and I am again on a slow path to undercharging them? FYI, I did unplug the IQ4 to see if that would perhaps "reset" it to get the 14.7v again but nothing changed.
Or just maybe :) , the IQ4 fixed the problem so now you don't get that low that it kicks in?
Just watch your "morning voltage" for a few days and let things settle in before going to panic stations. :(
