    Steca digital charger controller problem

    Hi every one. I have bought a small steca digital charger controller with the following specification 12v 10A for my 130watts solar system. sometimes this charger controller gives me the reading of which I am not sure if they are correct or not. You might find the panel is producing 5A and 4.9A is entering into the battery and the percentage of the battery (SOC) might be 80%. as the time goes by the panel will be 6.1A but the current entering the battery is 0.9A and the percentage of the battery (SOC) will be 85%.
    My problem is what is the meaning of all these reading, are they true or they are not true. If the percentage of the battery is not 100% why does this controller block the current from entering the battery? is there any thing of which I should do so that all the current should go into the battery without being blocked.
    Please if any any have the idea on this please help me, because I am confused with these readings.

    Since I don't own a Steca controller, my best advice is to read the manual that came with it, or online at the mfg's site.
