I have a 99 Monaco Windsor with a Trace RV20-12 inverter. While boondocking I have to run my generator to charge the batteries on cloudy days. I noticed that the monitor shows the batteries being overcharged when they reach near full. This will continue for some time until it finally switches to "float charge". Is there something I need to adjust with the inverter charger? I have 4 six volt golf cart batteries as my house batteries. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a link to what my panel looks like. While in bulk charge mode, my monitor will eventually get into the yellow which is 14.5 or 15.0 volts Thanks

Your link didn't show up on my PC. Don't you have the panel where you can set the voltage on the various stages? Hopefully you do and someone can help out.

That's the absorbsion mode. It is the topping off of the last 10% to 15% of charge.

You can check what voltage its set at and probably adjust it.

Research your battery specs and see what voltage they want.

Look up your battery spec for absorption mode voltage and time. Then look to your charger settings and adjust accordingly.

Have the same inverter. Here is the manual for it. If you have the RC-7 remote you can adjust the inverter. If you have the RC-6 remote (like me) you can't.
