New to Me 2022 Micro Minnie FLX 2306BHS- I have questions.

[lalfonzo]

Hi everyone, I’m a new owner of a used 2022 Micro Minnie FLX 2306BHS, and I have several questions.

1. **Solar Panels** - Is there a test, video, or document I can use to verify the operation of the solar panels? How can I tell if they are working correctly? I purchased my trailer on September 19, 2025. It has three solar panels, each rated at 190 watts. I’ve attached a picture of my MPPT solar remote display taken on September 21, 2025, at 11:57 AM on a sunny day. Unfortunately, the salesperson (who was very nice but didn't know much about the system) and I are unsure how to interpret this. I know I have to learn about volts/amps.
Could someone please assist me? I feel uneasy because I'm not certain if everything is functioning properly.

2. **Lithium Battery** - Similarly, is there a test I can perform to verify the operation of the battery?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! LA

I can throw in a couple smaller points. If you have lithium batteries reset to charge lithium is definitely worth it to get best use of the better batteries. They charge far differently than lead acid and also can be used much differently without damage. Running them down into the 20-30 % left is okay while doing that on lead acid does wort to shorten their life!
Rough numbers but kind of like having a storage bin where you can use 7080% of what's stored but if you have lead acid, it is better to not use more than 20-30%. Lithium also lets you use it out or put it back much quicker! Good stuff but tends to be quite expensive.
Volts and amps?
Volts might be said to be how bad the power wants to move and how strong. A nine volt battery won't let you do nearly as much as a 12 volt.
Then if we need to do really hard work like run an air conditioner, we definitely need to go to AC instead of DC. DC is more often involved with battery power and AC with power from commercial or generators! To charge a cell phone, dc is it, but if you want to run a hair drier, we need more and big, so AC is it.
But that can get deep and takes a slow learning process for most of us.

Amps and watts are somewhat the same for many discussions as they are both the "amount" something uses. A nine watt Christmas tree bulb uses a lot less power than a sixty watt light bulb if both are of the old style.
Amps is often used to tell us limits on things like fuses or breakers. A fifteen amp fuse will allow you to use 15 amps of current flowing at a time before it burns out.

Not quite the same but we might think of watts as how many gallons of water we used, while amps is how many gallons per minute we used?

Think of batteries as a pantry where we store electrical power. Some big things to know is how big is the pantry and that is a rating like amp hours when speaking of batteries. Very simple idea is that we get twice as much out of a 1000 amp hour battery than a 500AH!
But getting into the difference in various types of batteries like lead/acid or lithium, there are vast number of things involved. Both are chemical reactions and tend to be slow. But we can move the chemicals and power much quicker and use it much lower in the lithium battery.
VERY deep subject, there!

Very simple thoughts on terms and certainly there are many small points that could be debated on what I said here!

There is a GoPower phone app you can download to make it easier to monitor your battery's. It works on Bluetooth but the signals weak so you need to be fairly close to your trailer to use it.

I use the Lithionics app on my iphone. You can see right away your charge percentage. I also contacted Lithionics and they had me reset the parameters of charging, increased from factory settings
