Hi, I'm new to solar and recently bought a Renogy Wanderer 10a solar charge controller to charge a 12ah 12v lifepo4 battery with a 25 watt 12v solar panel. I have the Bluetooth module installed so I could easily set the controller settings. I have it set to lithium and to charge at 14.4v as directed by the battery instructions. The problem is, even in full direct sunlight it never charges at the 14.4v I set it too. Usually it's in the 13.5v range and as a consequence it doesn't fully charge the battery. I have seen other people comment they had similar problems with this charge controller. I looked on Amazon for alternatives and most have comments saying they won't charge at the correct voltage for lithium batteries even if the controller supports it.
Can anyone suggest a reasonable alternative that actually charges lifepo4 at 14.4v?
Thanks so much in advance.
