Hi Bob,
I put on an old Todd charger with Voltage regulation, but not absorb
and float. I can change the voltage up or down as needed. Changing
out the remote is a good idea. I do have another Magnum inverter at
another location, but was trying to avoid another couple trips....
Thanks,
Jason

The custom battery voltage setting mode were not always available in
the inverters, so it could be, I suppose, the rev of that
unit is not new enough. I have heard of an instance this was a
problem with a system. It doesn't warn you that this feature
is not available of course, just because the remote has it built in.
Forgot to mention that it should give you the inverter software
revision, which will be helpful in determining if
the unit has that feature or not. The factory would have to verify that
though.

OR, maybe the unit is just defective? Hard to see why it would do
this, but maybe...
Also, it may not be widely known that when AC is first applied to the
Magnum inverter for charging, if the battery is
already above a certain voltage, (float ?), it will not enter the
Bulk/Absorb cycle. The battery voltage must be below a certain voltage
while plugging it into the AC before it will Bulk/Absorb. I don't
think this is your particular problem though, as we've
already discussed that possibility off line.
