the battery voltage drops
below 11.0V. If there is
enough current from the PV
panel/array available to
charge the Battery to above
12.8V, the USB terminal will
be enabled again.

FAQs.
It seems like my flooded batteries are losing water over time.
Flooded batteries may need to have distilled water added periodically to
replace fluid loss during charging. Excessive water loss during a short
period of time indicates the possibility of overcharging or aging batteries.
When charging, my flooded batteries are emitting gas.
During charging, hydrogen gas is generated within the battery. The gas
bubbles stir the battery acid allowing it to receive a more full state of
charge.
Important:
Ensure batteries are in a well-ventilated space.
My voltmeter shows a different reading than the GP-PWM-10 display
The meter value on the GP-PWM-10 display is an approximate reading
intended for indication purposes only. There is an approximate 0.1-volt
inherent error present that may be accentuated when compared with
readings from another voltmeter.
