Niner, are you using speaker wire to pass current?
For shame........:)
Isn't one side aluminum wire.
Just kidding, I know you gave a short run to the battery and it doesn't matter at only 30 amps.
The voltage pot twiddling will be required when the battery is low enough.
I was always tweaking for maximum just below 36.2 amp buzzing threshhold amperage and this required 12 pot turns in the first hour with just one unit and one depleted battery.
Can't rightly speculate how often you would need to twiddle, or where you can set it so that twiddling is not needed.
I never stopped the test in the beginning to see what the voltage would have been at prebuzzing level at 50%, but it was in the lower end range of the trim pot, like below half.
So two of these cheapowatts, set at 13.2 initially, might very well buzz away for a period of time trying to feed that hungry lifeline.
Which of course was my reason for getting the 120$ Arabian MeanWell. Anti buzz, antismoke technology, and 40.92 amps with no voltage pot twiddling until I decide that ABSV has been held long enough.
