Dokio 300w folding panels puzzled!

300w Dokia folding panels
Supplied controller

Hooked up in full sun shows 13.1 volts and around 8 amps output. Sounds good. But,

The batteries, 3 new flooded interstates, do not seem to be receiving any current.

Zero increase in battery % , nor any change in “current” in Victron app.

All connections seem solid

I sincerely hope the above description is adequate.

Have read the controller manual.

If I disconnect the alligator clips, the current value of 0.75 does not change on Victron app.

Best

Larry

Do you have the solar negative lead running through the battery monitor shunt?

Is your negative battery clip directly on the battery negative post? If so move it to the other side of the shunt or a trailer ground.
