Step 4: PV, Battery, and Small (2A) Load Connected to Controller
Note 1: A standard automotive brake lamp (type 1156) works well for this test.
A) with the lamp turned On, measure the Load Voltage. It should
be within 20-30 mV of the battery voltage. If the Load voltage is
more than 0.25V lower than the Battery voltage, the LVD FET’s
are damaged.
