Low Amps from New Solar Install
I did my first solar install on the roof of my fifth wheel this weekend. Two Renogy 100w mono panels to a Solar30 controller via a 10AWG cable down the gray tank vent. In going through the displays o...

When did I get to be so needy?
In looking at some responses, setting the charging voltage is mentioned. The only thing I find in the Solar30 manual that seems to apply is "ceasing charging." It is set at 13.8 and the battery voltage showed at 13.7. I unplugged from shore power and a couple of hours later the batteries showed at 12.7, but it was dark. Float from my PowerMax Boondocker is 13.2 so it is safe to say that I got some charge from solar. Trojan says the charging specs for my T105s are 13.2, 14.8 and 15.5 so is 13.8 appropriate for ceasing charging (float)? I understand I may need to calibrate but want to be sure I have the right parameter to mess with and set it to an appropriate number.
