First off my electrical knowledge is not very extensive but I do have a good principle understanding of it. My problem is in my house 12 volt distribution from the battery bank to the Hunter electrical distribution panel to the 12v appliances. I have 4 8D Gel batteries controlled with a Xantrex Link 1000.
When my house batteries meter 13.5v my Link 1000 says 13.6v but my Hunter electrical panel reads 12.23v. So as the batteries draw down and meter say 12.25v at the battery terminal and about 12.35v on the Link 1000 the Hunter panel will read 10.88v
And this lower voltage from the Hunter panel is exactly what I meter for things like my freezer that has a low voltage shut down. This is how I had discovered the issue. I had always noticed the difference in the meter readings between the Link 1000 and the Hunter panel but did not give it much thought as I assumed the panel was somehow misreading the voltage, now I am aware that my batteries have sufficient voltage but my 12v appliances are not getting the proper voltage from the Hunter House Distribution Panel.
Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated.
