Solar voltage help...
I just connected my solar kit (160w cmp12 controller)and the voltage while connected to the rv batteries reads 16.55v. Is this normal or too high? Sorry but im new to this.

If it will let you, you can adjust float voltage to be the same as absorption voltage so it stays there the rest of the day after reaching Vabs, say mid-afternoon. V falls back overnight anyway.
Not for storage, of course.
I want an adjustable voltage cheapo, so I ordered a Solar30 as mentioned by Niner a while back. My "RJ special" works well, but peaks at 14.4v and I want the PWM controller to have the same Vabs I set on my MPPT controller, 14.8, so they will work together on the one battery bank. Last time, I had two banks so one on each would be ok. If the voltages can't be matched, I can always go back to split bank operation for the summer.
When it gets here I will report on just what voltages you can pick. (manual doesn't say how high you can crank it, at least I don't see that.)
