I have a Dakota Lithium battery 100 AH installed in a battery compartment on a 2014 Casita Travel trailer. The last 10 days our outdoor temperature is around 35 degrees in the daytime and 20 degrees at night. I have a 100 watt solar panel through a Renogy 20 amp solar controller that I keep connected.
The system has worked great in the 2 years since I've installed it. However since the cold snap the Renogy App states that my battery is only charged to 67%.
Is this due to the cold? What would be the best protocol... disconnect the solar panel.... I have a circuit breaker on the battery should I trip the switch...
put a light bulb in the battery compartment to heat up the area? Assume that when the weather heats back up all will be back to normal.
The system is charging properly when I use AC or solar but drops back down to 67% when disconnected.
Thank you for your great videos. I follow your suggestions religiously in building my systems.
