Hello all,
I have a very simple set-up so far:
1x250W panel
1x 20A Tracer charge controller with remote meter
2x 110ah batteries connected in parallel.
1x Waeco fridge
I intend to connect more loads to the batteries but I can't understand why the State of Charge given by the remote meter drops to around 50% overnight...
The meter reports the 24hr usage is around 20ah so how can this reduce the batteries in my bank to 50% SOC? I have tried connecting just one battery in the system and there seems to be little difference between the performance of this compared to the system with both batteries connected. Even with just one battery, how can such a small draw from the fridge account for such a drop in the SOC of my battery?
Any advice greatly appreciated!
David
