Brother started with new RV and ONE group 24, then added an Optima G31, when I showed up with 100w portable suitcase (as a maintainer for storage) this combination measured 11.8v. "stuff is on even with this switch off" Duh, CO/Propane detector, radio etc. Shortly he added 40A PWM controller w/BT (Grape), rooftop 2x100w noname flex panels that crapped out in one year, at the same time he bought 4x120ah noname AGMs. This setup worked fine until the panels crapped out, I installed his new 2x100w renogy flex panels and then he added 2x160w flex. He likes flex panels cuz he glues the to the roof. I recently showed up and he now has 4x100ah Battleborn Lithium ($900/ea)! A new Tracer AN (updated comander from epever) with remote display. It took a few years to get him to understand battery care! He did run generator each morning for wife's hair dryer use and charge batts, they never really got discharged more than 1/3. I would show up and connect via BT and show him what his min daily voltage was and to check to see his batts were getting fully charged. He will not have that option with the new mppt controller but it does have an LCD and remote display. Don't go this route! Plan ahead
