I recently installed a Balmar SG-200 battery monitor. I understand the monitor readings will gain in accuracy as I go through a few discharge/charge cycles.
This past weekend was the first time I had the chance to put a load on the batteries, about 7 Amps, which I did until the SOC was 60% and voltage was 12.2v.
I then turned on the ProCharge Ultra 30A charger. The next day the SG-200 showed 100% SOC and +1Amp, the charger was on float with 1A output.
My question is about the Hours Left function. It showed 0 hours left.
Does the SG-200 need to see an amperage draw in order to calculate hours left? Or does it need to see a few more cycles to calculate Hours Left?
