Yep, some work to do. Cable or connections not good at .2 for only 66 amps when you will be pulling double that probably. I would replace the breakers with large format fuses if they are accessible....

As I just mentioned in the other thread, the best current remote regulator is probably the Wakespeed which I will be testing soon. It is far more advanced than any other, per the literature, and...

No not saying they are wrong at all, as they are just fine. I thought I remembered they were OK, but wanted to be certain. This gives us enough information to make a guess what is going on. Some...

The solar will probably tell you how many amp hours it put into the batteries if it keeps history.

I know you listed them somewhere, but what are the charged volts and tail current (or return...

That information tells us a lot. The biggest thing is that your batteries are not anywhere near full. You returned amp hours to what you thought was full, but it wasn't. Did the trimetric fully...

I had fits with the internal regulators when I first got them from Nations in the alternators. They were running as high as 15+v when cold out and 14.6+v when normal temps. They do multistep down...

How big is the alternator you bought?

Found it, you had 240 amps in the first post.

The internal regulator may be giving you some issues if it maxes at 14.3v but really shouldn't do that. ...

I was in on that thread and I thought it was taken care of. Have you gone down to 50%, which is of no hazard to your batteries, to see what the charge rate is there. As soon as you try guess at...

You have a big voltage drop at 85amps that is likely limiting the charge rate a lot. The fact that the chassis battery is at 14.5v it would appear that you have some big resistance in the wiring to...

The Trimetric meter can't do anything to get you to 100% full, but it can tell you if you are there, or not. The solar controller part can. I would guess that very few actually get to 100% on a...

First you need to determine if you are really ever getting 100% full and triggering the auto reset of AH counter and SOC readings in the Trimetric,

Do you get to the .5% amps during your...

Just the temperature rise of the batteries, the .4C charge rate is actually within the recommended preferred specs for deep discharges of more than 50% in Lifelines.

Just one thing to add would be to keep an eye on the amps going to the batteries on the Trimetric. We have found our Lifelines can charge at about 40%C for extended times and gain about 15*F temp...

Sounds like a plan.

It is good you have the Trimetric solar controller as it controls the charging based on the amps to the batteries. You do need to make sure it is programmed with the float...

We can recommend alternators for sure, but the alternator is not the issue in the situation you list. AGMs take a long time to do the last 20% of charging to full, as much as 5-6 hours or more, so...
