Area(s) with issue?

Buoy

Steps to reproduce

Battery measurements with the current system and charge controller measure charging voltage and not battery voltage.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Charge controller sometimes have 3 ports.

The Load port usually separates charging voltage coming from the solar panels.

This allows for a more accurate measurement of the battery voltage and the possibility of also measuring charge voltage separately.

❌ Actual Behavior

The current charge controller has no dedicated load port meaning measurements are made directly on the battery. The voltage is then raised whenever the system is charging resulting in only being able to measure the charging voltage.
