Lo showing on voltmeter and voltage is fine

The suspense is building ...

Heck yeah it is, makes me wanna take the rest of the day off and go home and hold that button!

You should.

There is more to it. Push and hold it.

You sir are my new hero! I just thought I pushed and held it long enough the other night. Sure nuff if you hold it long enough it will let you set a low and hi limit for whatever reason. I set the low at 11.5 and high at 17. We will see what happens. Hopefully that helps some other newbie that doesn’t know.

11.5 is seriously low for a 12 V battery: for a flooded lead acid battery at rest, 12.6+ is full and 12.2 volts is a 50% state of discharge. (AGM batteries tend to run 0.1 - 0.2 V higher) You really don't want to run them below 50% state of charge if you can avoid it. The deeper you cycle them, the more it shortens their life. 17 volts is high enough to damage the battery.

Nice looking ride.

I agree with you. But I don’t want a Lo or Hi message popping up. If the battery is sluggish starting I will jump right on it and find out why. And I prolly need to adjust the hi setting to 15 or so. It shouldn’t charge more than 14.5 or so. I’ll play with it and get it dialed in.

it has officially turned into an engineering project - lol

I hear ya, I’ve done controls/plc engineering forever, just got a 450hp VFAC drive started up, so last thing I want is basic electrical issues, our mantra at work is always “don’t make an engineering project out of it” - engineers take too long and complicate it - lol
