You guys have been really helpful. I'd probably be lost without this forum. lol.
My solar controller is one of those Tracer MPPT that simply gives a blinking green light when the batteries are fully charged. Assuming its accurate.
SO I will pick up the digital meter and put the other two batteries back on. I have a pretty basic understanding of electronics and such. But I still don't really understand how a charger can tell the difference between two batteries versus four being connected to the circuit. The extra two batteries seemed to be what was keeping things down before, since I believe the Parallax couldn't hack it.
But I am wondering if it would be a smart idea to put on the two extra batteries and then switch the PD to Boost mode and let it go. Assuming it will not hurt them and eventually switch back to Auto when it needs to? I just don't want to fry anything.
I'm amazed at some of the knowledge members have here. ;) Thanks!
