    Battery off or on to solar charge

    Hi all, brand new geopro 19fbs owner with a very simple question. Is it better to turn the battery dial under the hitch to off when I want to charge the batteries? The dealer said it won't charge the battery if the switch is not set to on, YouTube videos say set it to off. Thank you!
