Sterling Power unit

So as the Victron unit not doing what I thought it might. 
I've refitted my Sterling Power solar B2B unit. 
Removed liesure battery to charge it up, and when connected to battery it showed less than 15% ! 
That just proves things aren't working correctly! Hopefully no harm done as part of the chargers routine is recovery, it took about 6 hrs to get it up and running!

Finished fitting the Sterling Unit.
Ignition live
Battery heat sensor
Hooked up vehicle battery live 
Reconnected vehicle battery live to SP unit.

Fired van up and gave it 5 mins to sort itself and checked outputs. Liesure battery getting the full 14.5 Initial charge as is the main battery. 
Sterling unit has defaulted to AGM 2 But from memory I need to go for a drive for it to settle in. But should be fine. 

Only thing to check is solar side of it, the light wasn't on this morning but multimeter showed power but battery was fully charged etc. 
keep an eye of liesure battery 
Checked 12v stuff all okay but cold water supply pump didn't! 🙄 Hopefully just needs a clean either way it's a faff as it's under the van. 
But I need to test LPG, tanks under van anorl!
