    Before a problem is suspected with the system, read this section. There are numerous events that may appear as problems but are in fact perfectly normal. Please visit https://gpelectric.com/support/ for the most up-to-date FAQs and troubleshooting videos. It seems like my flooded batteries are losing water over time. © 2020 Go Power!
  • Page 11 In addition to resistance in the wires, batteries also have an internal resistance due to chemical properties. The controller cannot distinguish between these two sources of resistance. It will compensate up to 250mV in the displayed value. © 2020 Go Power!
  • Page 12: Troubleshooting Problems

    If the battery voltage is lower than 6 volts the controller will not function. For the solar array, repeat steps 1 and 2 substituting all battery terminals with solar array terminals. Remedy: © 2020 Go Power!
