Hi folks
I have a 100 amp kit that I use to power some 12 lighting in an off the grid cabin. Today I wired the lights directly into the charge controller in the right spot with the right polarity and they wouldn't work. Disconnected and touched the battery and voila! There was light. Tried connecting to the charge controller again no luck. Wondering if I need to set the controller to 16? It's the basic controller I should have took the model number but didn't. Total load is about 6 amps of all the lights are switched on and I have an inline 7.5amp fuse for the lights. Manual said maybe wait 10 minutes for it to cycle but didn't have a chance to try that. Thanks!!!
