Air/heat were set to the off position, only thing that might be using juice is the refrigerator.

Tried settings of do not start until batts are at 12 and shutoff at 13.2, with max run of one hour, batts got to 14.4 and after 1.5 hours gen was still running. Set auto gen start to disable and it shutdown, did not have to use the manual switch.

I have tried other voltage values for the start and stop values to no avail. So I am left with thinking it is the shutdown circuit/relay or whatever it is that is the thing that shuts down the generator.

One other question that I have about the operation is, if the batteries not need a charge at the time when AGS is enabled will the gen start right away anyway? I am thinking I should not need to start, but it does anyway.
