Do the meters mentioned measure the condition due to age of my batteries? I have a Trimetic, it shows the solar panels voltage coming up from my panels, voltage after the batteries are charged and
as they go down while being used etc.
This all looked normal but I noted as the batteries aged, even though the meters showed normal after charging they seemed to run out of
power more quickly with the same appliances being used.
Is there anyway to tell the condition of the battery as it changes from new to more aged...
The only way I could tell was when the fridge would not run all night
and it did so easily when they were new.
I changed the batteries to new and all seemed well, now I have to wait
to see how long they last, meters or no meters???
