Hello,
I suspect that the 100 W Solar Panel on top our our travel trailer is not charging the batteries and hope someone can help me solve or troubleshoot the issue.
We parked our travel trailer on October 1 with fully charged batteries in a storage lot near where we live. October has been very sunny. The last two weeks each day was sunny. Nothing is drawing power from the batteries. When I went back to the trailer a couple of days ago, the battery voltage had dropped to 10.2 V.
Attached are some pictures of the values that I got from the display on the Rover, taken on sunny day at about 2 pm. Below are the same values shown:
Solar Panel Voltage: 16.6 V
![]()
Charging Current: 0.22 A
Battery Capacity: 0.0 %
Battery Voltage: 10.2 V
Load Current: 0.00 A
Accumulated AH: 0.1 AH

Considering the weather and the setup, I would anticipate that the solar panel should be able to keep the batteries fully charged. Appreciate any suggestions that will help me solve the issue.
