<DIV id=yiv1275907640>Hello Wrenches, <BR><BR>I just got off the phone with an off grid system owner who has a voltage discrepancy showing between the reading on her MX-60 and both her Mate and Trimetric meter. The MX-60 shows 28.8 V and the Trimetric and the Mate both show around 25 volts. The batteries are using a tremendous amount of water.<BR><BR>Has anyone seen this scenario before? Do you think the MX-60 is bad? <BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>
