I have a Victron Energy Bluesolar 10A PWM  Solar Charge Controller Regulator12V24V connected to a Victron 30w -12 V solar panel. I have not checked on it for several months and now noticed none of the LED lights flickering- used to indicate the state of charge of the batteries. The batteries are fine on checking with multimeter, and panel produce the good stuff, so I presume the charge controller is dead. Not sure about the innerworkings of the device, but I wonder if any charge gets through to the battery? Is there a risk of overcharging the batteries? Is any charge getting through to the batteries? If I need to replace it, what is the recommended alternative?

the s,i,c, starts next month (april) it is a very casual meeting up of friends on the water , we stay together as a group unlike racing . usually make for the anchorage for lunch, if you wish to recieve the whats app "shout outs " then please contact myself i can then join you on the whats app group. ps there is an idea to do a bit of casual race training which would be to set up a start line and practice the approach , this will only happen if there is enough interest. best wishes for a happy and safe season bg.

Should anyone be thinking of making life easier by fitting an electric winch on their boat, I would be happy to offer advise etc. I have now helped fit 5 winches to date
