Two wet cell batteries in a sprinter winchcombe MH with Sargent control and ff 80w solar panel

I have battery charge meter on the sargent panel that said the duff batteries were charged 100% but didn't hold charge but now I have the new ones in it says 20% even though the solar panel has been putting a lttle bit and I have connected to ehu for a couple of days and sits at 12.6v

If you can’t locate a fuse to disable the solar, cover them with something.

The solar panels has to be connected last so the controller can take a reading of the batteries

Little reminder. Just changed two and got nearly £10 each for the old ones at the scrap dealer. It offset the cost of the new ones.
