That is working properly. :-)

Listers,
I installed a new 40W panel on the Enterprise last week connected
through a Gensun charge controller (as recommended by the list.)
When I got on board this weekend on a very sunny day, I found the
batteries at 13.3 volts. Towards the end of the day, with the sun
still out, they dropped to 12.8. I don’t know if it was due to less
sun or the controller kicking in.
Since I don’t have Fred’s knowledge (also known as Street-Smarts),
does this all sound to be normal? Will I see charging days of over 13
volts? Concerned about the battery status, I checked the batteries
and the water level in all of them were just fine.
Do I have any reason to worry or is this what solar power was meant to
be and I’ve just been missing out for all this time? I have to say —
if it’s normal, I’m loving it.
All the best,
Edd
