Hi,
So having gotten my Link 1000 operational with my Heart Freedom 25 I am observing a couple of bad behaviors.
1) The Link 1000 doesn't "see" the charging current from the alternator when the engine is running. A quick check of the wiring shows that the output from the alternator goes directly to a +ve post on one of the house batteries. I assume it's an easy fix for me to move that to the other side of the Heart's "shunt"?
2) When the Freedom is running as a charger and moves to float mode I see a gradual reduction in Ah as reported by the Link 1000. After a week or so I can see a -400Ah status on the battery bank - yet it's still clearly fully charged and in float mode. It seems like the Link 1000 isn't "seeing" the float current from the charger. This one I can't explain - the output of the charger goes through the shunt. It see's 90-100A during the acceptance phase. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Richard
