Hi everyone, we have just had solar installed on our 2020 Grand California 680 and it seems to have confused our battery / control panel.
The solar panel has a Victron MPPT and, having had the solar checked it all seems to be working properly. However, our control panel shows a battery voltage of 13.7 when the solar is charging it, which I'm told is good, it shows around 13V when not charging, and the current goes from -1A to + 1A depending on how much sun there is. The green bars also show that the battery is charging, as does the Victron controller. However, the the amount of time remaining on the battery shows around 3 hours and this doesn't ever change, even if I plug in the hook up. It also doesn't show a % charged any more.
It seems like the control panel is confused by what is going on which may mean a sensor issue. You can probably tell that I know nothing about camper electrics so any experience or advice would be very welcome.
