Magnum MS2812 'Absorb Done' settings
Hi All, I've my replacement X's 4 Lifeline L16's installed in the coach. Lifeline has been just top notch to work with during this adventure. And are doing sort of a post mortem on my old bank ...

The PD converter (when not triggered by the CW) will also do less than its four hour absorption time, if the battery get charged up sooner, to the point the PD drops from 14.4 to 13.6
The loads in your rig are all supposed to go through the shunt, not directly from the batteries, so that above advice re "direct from battery" will not apply.
Your problem seems to be that the display or monitor or both are reading all the amps coming from the charger so you can't tell how many are going just to the battery.
IMO there must be something not right with the installation with all the complication of the solar controller and its monitor thrown in. That must be what is driving you crazy because you believe those guys did it right?
All you want is one monitor that only does battery (like the Trimetric or the solar's whizbang if only that were properly wired.)
Then if you want (but don't need), a display that shows what the solar controller output is and what the charger's output is (which would include any amps going to loads)
Some loads are direct to battery (jacks, slides, LP alarm, etc) but these will have their negs to the frame--and that frame should be a neg on the outer end of the shunt same as the other negs, so the monitor will show them.
