Greetings
I successfully installed the monitor in my Eagle, but am having some trouble understanding how to program it.
Specifically, its program item P3: battery system capacity. I have 2 deep cycle batteries installed by FWC and I am pretty sure they are wired in parallel. Both batteries are the same and have a label that states "79 AH @ 20 hours" on each. According to the directions, if batteries are wired in parallel, you " add the amp hours of each battery". So, I entered 160 for the value (rounded up).
The monitor reads 13.7 for each battery but despite having been plugged into shore power for 2 days, is not yet completely charged. The more I read the instructions, the more confused I get.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays to all.
