Help please - epsolar Viewstar controller (1 Viewer)

[Daveg]

I changed our leisure battery last week. The solar panel regulator shows that the panel is working fine, but there is no charge going into the battery. Before I changed the battery it was performing, if not optimally.

I have looked at the manual and it is beyond my very limited understanding. I can't find any reference to the problem in Troubleshooting and don't know how to figure out what to do. I am tempted to try the reset option, but don't know if that will fry something.

I am intending to get the controller replaced later in the year, having been told by an expert that it is badly fitted and a poor fit with the shaudt eletrobloc. I would, however, like some use from the panel in the interim, as we spend a lot of time off grid.

Can anyone advise please?

when you changed the battery did you disconnect the solar as well?
try disconnecting solar and battery then reconnect battery then solar panel

I just swapped the new one in without touching the solar regulator, which is directly wired onto the terminals. No inline fuse either - one of the things whoever installed it got wrong apparently.
