Tim,

I think your float current is too high. The following is cut from my Link 2000 manual:

"If the battery is 100% charged, and the LINK 2000 is in sync with the batteries, overcharge amp hours are displayed as positive. Some accumulation of overcharge amp hours is normal and harmless with systems continuously connected to a charger. For example: a 100 AH battery at the float voltage will normally have less than 0.1 amp flowing into it. This means that a maximum of 2.4AH of overcharge would accumulate in a 24 hours period. If your battery system is larger, there will be proportionately more current flow and positive amp hour accumulation."

Your 10 amps of float current is 100 times that of the example. I am sure your battery bank is not that large.

As to the confusion on amperage in float mode as a percentage of battery capacity my manual states it differently.
Under Summary of Factory Default Values is says:
Charged Current % = 2% ( of battery capacity )
The units are both in percent.

I suspect battery problems.

Good Luck!

Russ
