Two 12 volt nominal panels wired in parallel.
Battery configuration is series/parallel at 12 volts nominal Controller (all
of them) have been 12 volt nominal PWM VPM
Wrenches,
This is baffling me and I need others experience. It is a small stand alone
system with 4 L16s in series/parallel. Charging source is 2 Kyocera 140 watt
modules. It is powering a satellite receiver as well as providing 120 VAC for a
boat dock using a listed 3000 watt mod sine
HI Nathan,
Thats a good one.
what is the wiring like between the controller and the battery?
you are measuring the 15.6 at the CC?
each battery is same voltage while charging?
you have checked all battery cable connections?

Jay,
CC to battery is about 30 inches and is #10THHN. Battery cabling is 4/0 with
same length to inverter. Battery voltage is uniform. The installation of the
AGM jumper on the controller seems to say it is not a battery issue and Trojan
tech support concurs. Morningstar tech is in the same
Hi Nathan
Only other suggestion is to try a non Morningstar controller as a test.
But find it hard to believe 4 bad controllers.
Good luck

Hi, Nathan~
Your pesky overcharge situation sounds like a real pain given the long
commute. 15.6 volts on a 12 volt battery implies zero restriction of the
incoming energy, so this looks like a controller problem...or maybe it's a
wiring problem that prevents proper controller operation. Make

Mick,
Pesky is a nicer term than I had been using. I clamped the charge circuit and
watched the amperage come in on final phase of absorb then drop to zero.
