I have this kit: https://uk.eco-worthy.com/products/...el-trickle-charger-kit?variant=40700172304533
It is connected to this battery: https://batterygroup.co.uk/batterie...-agm-deep-cycle-vrla-screw-connection-m5#gref
The battery is set up as per 'setting 1' for lead acid. The attached manual is for the same device rebranded. The supplies manual is ostensibly the same.
When the battery drops to 11.3v the controller goes into undercharge mode. The unit does not 'come out' from under-voltage mode (ie when the sun comes out or the load is removed) and I have to manually shut it down and power it up again.
The manual doesn't reflect this situation. Also, the charge controller does not charge beyond 12.1v.
Voltages read by a shuntometer.
I appreciate this is a poverty level/noob kit but I would expect the controller to continue to attempt to charge the battery. Am I mistaken in this assumption.
I was also advised by the vendor to disconnect the battery from the controller when using a (inverter) load.
Anyone any thoughts?
