I just went out and "tricked" the Trimetric to be sure it was working correctly. I changed the P1 reading to 13V instead of the 14.3 it was set at. The charger is outputting 13.2 volts.
The Trimetric then started blinking the "Charging" light as now it was seeing more watts than what it was set to. So this is working fine.
Then I went to "% Full" and it now shows 100% instead of - - -. So now I know this working.
But the issue remains that the battery should charge to 14.3+/- volts and I simply can't get it there even with Solar, Sears Charger and Centurion 3000 all operating together.
But I guess if neither of these devices are outputting over 13.2V that is all the battery will charge to.....can't get something for nothing....Correct?
So if the Phocos doesn't output above 13.2, it matters not how much sun the panel is getting and how many volts the panel is outputting, the controller will limit the charge to 13.2....Correct?
