I called her back just now, and the voltage readings on the Mate, MX 
and Trimetric all match.  Humm.

The batteries are 4, 4 1/2 year old, U.S. Battery L-16s wired in 24 
volt configuration.  It seems that I remember postings of Wrenches 
having problems with these batteries.  There is about 1 KW STC of PV 
on the roof.

Is there any chance she initially read the array voltage on the MX60 
instead of the battery voltage? Both numbers are displayed 
simultaneously, of course.

This is a relatively small battery bank. Could it be getting tired, 
somewhat prematurely? Charge rate is right up there, ~C/8.
Tired battery + high charge rate = lots of H20?
