It's generally not a good idea to run your SWCG until start-up is complete.

Doing so just puts additional wear on the cell and can greatly shorten cell life if you try to use the 'boost' mode some units have. Plus, as Mark pointed it, it makes it hard to figure out what's going on, since you don't really know what the output of the unit is.

Another potential issue: you report a high TA, which is not a problem for SWCG by itself, but if you ALSO have high CH, you could be fouling your cell rather rapidly. (Actually, I'm going to have to ask about that -- high TA + high CH will foul hot surfaces (in a heater) rapidly, but the mode of action in a SWCG is different.)

Anyhow, welcome to the forum.
