Hi, There is a solar panel on the roof of  our motorhome and a Duo battery solar controller in one of the cupboards.  When I went out in the MH last week, the two green lights (battery 1 and battery 2) where flashing and I'm not sure what this means.  I've never noticed them 'flash' before I think they've normally been static.  Once or twice during our short break they seemed to be static, then started to 'flash' again.  There is no manual.  I don't want to tamper and would appreciate any advice.

    Hi It is a ep solar duo battery solar controller.  I've looked on line and have downloaded a 'manual' of a similar controller.  Per that manual it says it could be 'no charging but there is battery' haven't a clue what that means and it doesn't explain it nor say what to do.

    Thank you Deleted UserUser, I still don't know what 'frequent flashing, with battery, no charging' actually means - is this a fault? Are the batteries full? Do I need to do anything about it?  I'm a complete novice and had my first break away in the MH last week.

    I assume it means the battery is in need of charge but there is no output from the solar panel to do so?

    Peedee, thanks.  I'll have a ponder.  I've had no response from the people who installed it!!
