Hi All,
I have a LiTime battery being charged by a PowMR MPPT solar charge controller. A 3000 Giandel inverter is powering a small residential fridge. Right now, the battery is charged to 100%. I have an intermittent alarm that is going off on the inverter for high voltage. When I check the charge controller, over a 1 minute period, theses are the voltages I see on the SCC: 15.2, 14.2, 13.7, 13.6, 14, 16.1, 17.4, 18, 16.3. It seems like the SCC is looping from a high voltage back to a normal voltage over and over and over again. I have the battery type set to L04 which should be correct on the SCC. My temporary solution is to just turn off the solar as I don't need it right now. Is this normal? Is there a way to program the SCC not to do it? Per the manual a LIPoe4 battery should have the following:
Boost charging voltage: 14.5V
Float charging voltage: 13.8V
Low DC cut-off voltage: 11.2V
Low DC cut-off recovery voltage: 12.8V
I can edit these values as a custom setting but I don't really see the point if it is not respecting what is already in there. Please advise. I already e-mailed the manufacturer.
Thanks,
