Had fitted a Steca regulator and solar panel a few weeks back, also had the Van wired so I could run 2 batteries. I purchased 2 new batteries yesterday and had the Auto electrician replace my old Van charger and put in a Ctec 7000. This morning I connected the new batteries, I checked my Steca regulator and it had an error message No 7 (battery voltage to low) My question is would I just have to reset to factory settings to get the regulator back on track, any advice appreciated.

Just be careful with the Steccas. They are a positively earthed controller. If you have a common negative earth between your panel, controller and battery, the unit will blow up when it goes to shunt any current.
Yes this is in the germlish instructions but not immediately apparent.
Great units otherwise.
