Hey all for now months I've been trying to work this thing out with no luck currently after upgrading a few things this is what I have.
A brand new renogy elite 20a charge controller
Connected to a 170ah battery via 12agw cable about 1 meter long
On my charge controller the voltage displays around 12.6/12.7 volts but at the battery there is a voltage meter that shows 12.9 (fully charged)
For the life of me I can't work out what to do, it's annoying I have since last night purchase pending delivery 10awg cable from renogy as maybe some how there is voltage drop and I ha E also purchased their battery voltage sensor which connects into the regulator to get accurate readings regardless of voltage drop (nice little feature)
However any ideas? Anyone else experience this? Just annoys me I charge all day every day and want to come home seeing my controller tell me is charged but it doesnt.. however I know it is.
There is no load on it btw
