Recently retired and purchased a 5th well for camping in the mountains. I only really use the batteries for lighting. My questions are:
With my batteries hooked in parallel, would I run the positive and negative feed from the first battery to the RV load or the positive from battery 1 and the negative from battery 2 to the RV. Do I hook the the remote battery sensor and the PV Cables to the same terminals on battery 1 )Pos to Pos and Neg to Neg).
Do the Bulk, Boost, Float and Equalization modes change automatically, or is this something I need to do manually? I hooked up the solar panel and controller to the battery with alligator clips last weekend just to see if it was working, On my I also have the BT-1. In the app for the BT-1 I noticed the solar panel and battery status was normal, with values listed, but when I slid the button on the load function, it slid to the right and went green for a couple seconds, then went back off. The status says - Close. Is this normal, or did I do something wrong, Thanks in advance as I am completely new to this and am trying to learn.
