Its official.. That wfco sucks..
I went boondocking with heavy use of coffee maker, toaster oven , tv's etc.. 1st night 11.9 volts in morning.. Generator running only 40 amps from wfco. No bulk mode. ( I forgot to put load on batts with my heater) I had amp meter to test.
Propane heater ran that night too as temps got cold.
Charged 3 hours or so..( didnt time it) batts showed 13.6 volts, and I let solar take over.. Was getting about 15 amps. had good sun..
But stuff was being used in the camper throughout the day.
Also that first day I had the truck plugged in.. This added that third battery..
Thinking I have a parasitic draw from the truck I ran the next night with just the two batts.
I managed to get the voltage up to 14.7 with the solar for a brief moment and it went out of bulk. It started getting dark and absorp stage slowly faded.
I assumed I had 90% batts at least..
Well next morning I got up late. Wife was up with kid and grand kids and making coffee with coffee maker.. Inverter was beeping away but never shut down. ( Also TV and outside LED's were left on all night. Son in law never set timer for TV) Heat never came on as was hotter that night.
Got up went out and batts 10.6 or so. UUUgggg
Quickly started generator and plugged in. Still failed to put additional load on batts. I dont even know if it went into bulk as I needed to pack up get kids fed and get out of there. Ran the gen for toaster oven for waffles ect ect. I didnt care at this point... ha ha
Moral of story???
I need the wizard I think. I need to know I can push button and charge at max amps period. I need to know that it came out of bulk and know when I am at 90%. I need to know what stage I am in.
Am I ready to give up on the wfco... I think so. There is nothing more I can try..
Also 2-6 volt batts @ 225 ah will probably serve me better then 3- 12 volts @ 220 aH...
