I have recently replaced the remote control on my electrical system with a new Magnum Energy ME-ARC and have a couple of setup queries.
I have a 600AH battery bank using AGM batteries (3 x 200AH).
In the setup for the battery monitor (BMK), at menu item 05B AmpHour Size, I have specified 600 AH, based on the instructions in the manual.
However, in the System Setup, there is a menu item 01D Max Charge. The manual simply says: "This menu setting is the maximum current allowed to charge the batteries during Bulk, Absorption, Float, and Equalize charging; and is provided to limit the charge amps." The manual does not provide any guidance, but I am thinking that this should also be set at 600AH (the size of the battery bank). Can anyone help me out here?
(And apologies for the way that I have expressed this - I am no electrical guru.)
