You still having trouble Wayne?
What you are reading on your meter for going in and going out can be different depending on several factors.
Are you using a combo unit? Solar charge controller & inverter built into the same unit?
If so any 240V power used at the same time as the solar is charging won't be showing because it doesn't go into the battery first and then come out again.
It is a Victron gauge you have isn't it?
