I believe the new regulator we bought for our solar panel does this
too. Don't know if it does this whilst the panel is charging the
batteries. So far the panel is working well but we're not so sure
about how well the batteries are holding the charge. On Sunday
evening when we connected the panel the regulator suggested that our
batteries (3 dom, 1 starter) were around 60% charged. This morning
they were saying 80% ish although we have had flickers of being
higher than this. The panels produce 225 w/d. Testing has shown
anything from 1 - nearly 4 amps being produced depending on the
strength and height of the sun. We are considering some
battery "vitamins" to improve the life and charge holding of the
batteries as this is cheaper than buying new ones. What do you think?

I would try giving what you have got a full charge first and then check the
SGs of each cell, if your only putting an average of 3 amps per hour for 12
hours a day in, 36 Ah and then minus how much you use each day I would be
very surprised if your Solar cells will ever charge your batteries fully
before next winter.
