HalfBaked
Ever the student
I have been charging my new rack batteries with the generator for about a week because of gray skies. Today is perfectly sunny so I watched to see how it went.
My SCC TriStar ts-mppt-60 shows good volts/amps. (Pic attached) It sees the battery voltage, and I can see the amps on the clamp meter on the cables going from SCC to busbars, so that path is working.
But I didn't realize the amps weren't making it to the batteries until I saw the red light low battery on the MPII.
So I'm now running a generator in full sun until I can get this figured out. Hopefully I'm overlooking something simple.
