Model number sc2500a. No longer in production. This Charger works pretty nicely as a converter, on the 12 amp setting, handling such cycling loads as a ~2.7 amp compressor fridge and a 6.2 amp mat...

Thanks. I put both resistors inline but I think I am going to have to take~ 25A/h from the battery for it to attempt to charge. A 10 amp load for a few minutes while I installed the resistor cables was not enough and it just shut itself down, went into float after ~2 minutes of providing 12 amps, and it stopped at 14.4. then dropped to 13.2.
The fan always runs on this model. Rarely, it will shut off when the charger decides to stop charging when there is no loads on the battery, and it waits for the voltage to drop before resuming and slowly increasing current to hold 13.2/3. It will also shut down the fan when the solar takes over come daylight
When it does decide to do the auto EQ, if flashes a yellow charging light. I have not noticed that light to be flashing when it has been doing the mid 15v range recently, since new fan install.
I'd just like to not to have to babysit this "intelli"charger at the end of charge cycle, as much fun as I would have with a variac and a heavy old manual charger.
