I would expect at the voltage shown the mill would not have reached cutin.

A amp meter would be a handy investment as this will show what is going into the batteries.

Voltage dont tell you to much except if you are over charging or you batteries are flat.

Overall nice work.

Hi DTV004

Can you post some details or a photo of your amp meter as it is very easy to install the meter.
Basically you cut one wire to the battery and install it in series with the battery wire.

There is a few different types so if you can post something on your meter we can tell you how and what to connect to where.

Very easy.

Pete.
