I assume the controller display alternates between voltage and current, voltage showing status of battery, current being the amps sent to battery. What is max 'current' you've seen displayed? (with battery hooked up).

Meter-check against the panel meter..when camper plugged into truck-solar meter showing 13.1 or what ever, your multi meter should read close to the same at truck battery.

At 14+, the batteries on charger? My assumption. So camper battery took charge? Has it stabilized, holding charge since last night?

Yes you're correct the display alternates between voltage and current. I believe the max current I've seen is slightly over 1, perhaps it was 1.3, but most of the time it is around 0.5.

The TC is in storage at the moment so I'll complete the tests you asked for later this week.

I do have the battery at home and it has been sitting for over a day now since it was last connected to the TC and solar panel. The voltage is sitting at 13.95. I also switched it to the 200 setting and it reads 13.9. I also remeasured the spare battery and it is reading 13.8 today. Neither of these measurements were taken while connected (or recently connected) to a charging device.

I'll be buying or borrowing another meter later this week and will report back.

Thanks.
