Hi all,

Hoping to get a few answers here. Reddit's \solar sub was worthless. First off, I'm looking for the correct settings for my charge controller. I recently put together the following system:
My current battery settings:

Should I just leave these as-is?
 
That is a good starting point. You have to go the the manufacture's website and request a download for their owner's manual to get the exact charging specifications.

Be very care though, that this battery can NOT get any charge below freezing, or it will be damaged.

Why the very small charge controller? With only 20A of charging current that will be very limiting. Keep in mind that just leaving the inverter on will be consuming some power. That looks to be ~375Wh per day. In the winter, with less sun, just 200W of solar might not be able to keep up.
