So by 7pm it got up to 13.6 earlier but is now falling back as the sun gets lower, now 13.3v. Am now up by 1.5AH on the Tri again so should reset that. SG is still at true full.
Way to complicated! I think all I need is to get the batts up to full SG sometime before supper when we start hitting the AHs again, and aim the panel East for next day morning. Fiddle on the Float! Who cares? Batts will do a shallow cycle of however many AH it is that day, and start over next day.
I don't need all this agonizing over what to do after the batts get full sometime early afternoon, and I don't need any solar from then till next day morning when it is time to refill the batts.
I suppose this is how those with panels lying flat all day manage to get by as long as they get their batts full sometime during the day.
