Trimetric 2030 battery monitor
I'm in the process of installing my solar setup. I have everything installed except the solar panels. I am having issues with my Trimetric 2030 battery monitor. After charging to 95%, according to ...

Your trimetric is a really good meter once you set it up right. When coupled with the SC2030 it can't be beat for charging your batteries.
As far as getting it to read 100 percent, the easiest way to program it is to simply enter the code for the manufacture of the battery you're using and the charge voltage, current limit profiles. To be fully charged, the default setting on the Trimetric looks for voltage to reach the manufacture defined voltage level for at least a little over 2.5 minutes or so, while at the same time the current flow has dropped below the level set for it to indicate full charge. If you have these values programed in wrong you might not ever hit 100 percent. Depending on the converter/charger you're using, the battery might not ever hit 100 percent either. I know my Progressive Dynamics 9280 doesn't work well with Interstate batteries due to the voltages it's programed to charge at.
