One thing i did notice is that when voltage drops below some level, the solar will not charge the batteries; it has to have enough voltage to run the controller i guess.
good luck!!

Yes, we were lucky no fire.
I bought a large knife switch that will mount right on the battery post, similar to what I use for my toad. I'll be installing that on the negative terminal when I winterize this year to make sure every thing is off.
