Solar panel charging question

[diannelgraham]

So I searched the forms trying to find an answer to my question, no luck. I hope this question hasn’t already been answered a 100 times.
I’m usually on shore power but when I’m on solar only like I am this trip I noticed my batteries per the Go Power panel show only a 90% charge on the batteries, on shore power it always shows them at 100%. I know the solar panel is working because in the morning the charge is between 70 and 78%. The only draw I have on the batteries is the frig on propane ( I believe it still draws a bit on the batteries ) I have an inverter which I use maybe in the morning but I turn it off the rest of the day. Is 90% on solar normal or is it not charging my batteries completely?

The 90% is normal for the GoPower controller & display. The manual states it will only show 100% after an equalization or a day or two of hookups.

Thank you! I’ll stop fretting about it now.

Make sure you check the battery fluid levels 2-3 times a year and replenish with distilled water if needed.

I checked before I left first of Jan but good point I’ll look tomorrow to make sure

It is so easy in the E19 for battery work compared to the E21.....
