Can anybody tell me....

Ok, the controller says what it's supplying to the battery posts it's hooked up to. Better?

Works for me. :W :R :B

“Wrong!!!...” hilarious

Using 2.3 amps, battery full. Sorry I’m so wrong! BFL. Example...

Wrong!!! The solar controller has no clue about what is getting to the battery. Its output goes to loads first and anything left over goes to the battery. It does not know how much is going to what. Same thing with a converter.

You need a battery monitor to know what is happening with the battery.

EG, if the solar controller says it is putting out 5 amps and the battery monitor says it is getting 2 amps, that means there are 3 amps going to loads.

If your battery monitor says the battery is getting 75 amps from the 75 amp converter and the furnace comes on, you see a drop to 67 amps on the monitor which means the furnace is taking 8 amps of the converter's output and the battery is getting the 67 amps left over out of the 75.

At 2 amps I believe your batteries are full and the current draw is two amps.

I suggest you reread your manual. Solar isn’t rocket science.

the sun indicates the panels are connected and operating, the arrow indicates there is charge going to the battery, the battery with 4 vertical bars indicates all full, charging @ 2A flooded battery. USB charger ON.

19ah is likely how much solar was made today, nope, since reset, read the book

You're right.
The 2A is the current hitting the batteries at that moment.
The 19Ah is the total amps harvested since dawn/start of daily solar charging.
My Zamp CC shows the same stuff.
If there's a 3rd Voltage display, that's the approximate SoC of your batteries in volts.

Agree with 2oldman about RTM.

The 2.0 A means your battery is receiving 2 amps of charge. The 19 ah..maybe that's the state of your battery, the usage since a certain time.. hard for me to say.

Perhaps your manual should be consulted.
