Question about solar and my LiFePo4 batteries
In my Class B Xplorer 230XL I have two 100AH LiFePo4 batteries giving me 200 AHs. While I bought them in June 2019 I have not used them until this spring due to getting multiple myeloma, a blood canc...

BFL,
Thanks for your reply. I have a 0.2 amp load on the batteries probably from the propane alarm. My 10 hour chart was showing the amps on the Trimetric (battery amps) with the amps showing on the controller (solar amps). I said they were the same, but some were off by 0.2 amps. I did the lsc test and it showed 4.2 amps as I reported. This was at noon on May 20 with a clear sky but maybe a bit of slight haze. So I think the panels are OK. But averaging 2.8 AHs over 10 hours was not good. I may try the panels on my older lead acid battery when it gets discharged. I'm using it as a trolling motor battery.
I know about those screws on the Solar 30. I wonder what would happen if I briefly tried it without the controller?
