So we test set up the adventurer charger with 3 panels we got in a kit. It worked great on the test set up for a few days. So we built a permanent shed for it and now it only gets 1.4 amps. What gives? Did we fry the charger leaving it plugged into the the panels when we moved the batteries?

Unhook the panels first then the battery then reverse when stalling.....

So on that note, what about the suite case model? There is no disconnect switch on these, manual says except suite case models, whats odd is both are using the same type of charge controller.

Are the batteries near full charge? Amps taper off as the batteries near 100%. Put a load on the system and see if it comes back up.

The suitcase model, though good practice to cover the panels, is an exception due to the electronic protection at the input -Renogy Team

Have you measured each panel individually to see if they are all working up to spec? -Renogy Team
