Rogue MPPT, 490W and charging mysteries
Now that we were finally all in one place - me, Rogue 3048 and my rig - it was time to have some fun. 1)Battery: old starter, tested beyond dead, plates above the water. No wonder, 8 months in Mex...

Yes, this is my battery.
OK, it's time to forget all those voltage charts created for FLA. I thought 12.45 rested = 75%.
Nice battery. I had them on my radar for replacements until the Sam's Club nearby began stocking Johnson Controls AGMs for a comparable price. I am still using my first three AGMs; a Deka and 2 x Optimas, totalling 189AH.
Do you have a link to the Rogue manual?
Those wet battery voltage/SOC table values will continue to show up in the strangest places. Many battery monitors with LEDs are calibrated for wets where a full LED may only be 75% for your AGM. I use a Turnigy with real digital values.
It is a wet world out there. :)
