I checked the amps with a clamp on amp meter. the motorhome has a .2 amp draw when the coach 12v switch is turned off. both controller and monitor are wired per their instruction manual, so am I missing something the tests this AM were b-4 full sun just to show the difference in the readings. |
The 15.2 amps at the junction box then 14.4 amps at the controller and 13.8 at the battery sounds correct. Your 2025 should also read 13.8 amps. Check the 2025 wiring for the ground wire. Make sure it is connected at the proper point. Or 2 of your shunt wires are reversed and creating a null or subtraction. Check the setup on your 2025, or maybe your 2025 is broken.
