Thanks for the info everyone.
all my measurements are done on battery shunt (that is where 2030-RV is wired)
After typing the above message I turned off camper charger and Solar system than put AGM battery charge to it. within an hour it showed 100% on charger.
Next I reset Bogart back to 100% (showed 96%) and turned solar back on.
I know its still charging because it was accepting 1.7amp from solar.
I have Bogart Trimeter plus solar controller
I have program P7 sett to L4. I think over time without sun this full charge number gets harder and harder to reach.
below from Bogart manual.
There are two different standards you can select to define a “full charge.”
The highest (more stringent) standard is selected by using TM-2030 program P7 to choose L4 instead of L1, L2, or L3
which use a lower standard, which requires only that the battery voltage exceed the value in P1, and that the charging
amps be less than P2. The L4 level requires that in addition either the required "absorb time" or "percent overcharge"
be achieved, such that the "float" state has been reached. This establishes a better, but more difficult, level to reach.
Refer to the TM-2030 User's Instructions, section 6.2 for details.
we are supposed to be going to beach off grid this weekend for 5 days (they are calling for rain showers, clouds and maybe thunderstorms for 4 of those 5 days). Generator is packed.
