Battery not charging at maximum current

charger.png

My charger is set to 12A, my AC IN 1 current limit is set to 12A, but it's only putting about 300-400 watts into my battery bank. I've got 4 tesla modules wired together and they should be able to handle more than 12A from the wall outlet. I really need them to charge at maximum current when plugged in.

Charge current setting is in DC amps, not ac. Set the charge current setting to the maximum, or the highest current allowed according to the battery specs. (Whichever is lower) Then set the input current limit to whatever the supply is capable of that you are connected to.

Bless you. There's no indication that the charge setting is in DC amps not AC. I'm no electrician. I set the charge current to 52A which I thought would trip something but nope. It's working like I want it now.
