“Forest River Gray Wolf 2022, this is the third time that I have seen the same model Waaree solar controller fail on this model RV and start over charging customers batteries. This vehicle came in with its lead acid batteries over charged to 20.9 volts, identical to last time. Not sure if its widespread, but it seems to be problematic enough that I can see one fail three times in under a year.”
