Just wondering if anyone can help just pickup up our new 20:63.1Ob this week, I have been out playing around with the solar controller we have 2 x 120 watt panels and a TPS555 controller, it has a 3 stage button #1 is battery volts, #2 is amps from solar panels, #3 is amps being used, it shows the voltage @ 12.7 but stage 2 and 3 display 00.0A nothing, is there something I am not doing correct should they display amps in and out?

Battery is full so won't put any in the usage sounds like it may be picked up wrong possibly

I have found the same on my 2 week old 17.56-2 with 2 x 120w panels as well. I have only had a full battery and it is now under the carport and haven't been able to check the full charge theory. So please keep us updated with what you find as I may be in the same boat. Do you have a drifter control panel as well? I have been told to make sure the battery switch is turned on in the drifter panel and the main isolator as well.

To see if there is a draw the switch needs to be on however no need to leave it on when it has solar if concerned can switch on for traveling for a charge from the car however I leave mine off and let the solar do the job when plugged I to power the setec charges the battery so I only ever have it one when in free camp
