After connecting my new 250w (x2)
solar panels through their
MPPT controllers to the
batteries (as usually instructed) I get everything but charge.
The controllers show that the
batteries are being charged and even go through the 3 stage sequence of Bulk, Accept and Float. My Xantrex 2000 panel shows the voltage is there but not the Amps. The
battery hours continue to drop.
The batteries are actually continuing to discharge while being charged by the
solar panels. This does not happen when running the
motor. The Xantrex panel shows the Amps are coming in and
battery hours increasing.
Another issue is the
solar controllers heat up extensively when the sun is up and beating.
Any thoughts, recommendations, solutions will be most appreciated.
Thanks
Ron
