The charge parameters differ between manufacturers and battery types, so it would be best if you consult the datasheet for your battery then it will tell you exactly how the charge parameters need to be set.

I'm my opinion, your charge controller is a bit small for the Panel. If the panel does actually produce 245 w it will be at the limit of that controller.

It'd be close to the limit at 12V, above 13V there will be plenty of headroom. It'll be rare for the panel to make the full 245W.
I think that panel and charge controller are a good match.

I doubt its tuo big for controller. Voltage Will break controller, if over 100 V, i think MPPT controller can regulate incoming amps

Hi, how is your system working? I have a similar set up of 285 W panel, 100/20 controller onto 210Ah leadacid. My reading says that the panel is 36v. Is this right?
