Hi Folks,

Having added solar modules on the roof a few years ago and not using the inverter to maintain the batteries, I set the MPPT charger for 13.4 vdc. I appears that this has helped in the longevity of the batteries as they are at 95% after 8 years.

You don't happen to have the Siemens RV Power kit installed? I have one and it seems to work, but I don't have an owners manual and can't find one online.
