Hello all, I'm having a mind boggling problem with my charge controller. I have 4 130 watt panels wired in series running through a 16 amp dc double pole breaker and then on to a 40amp epever tracer BN serries charge controller. I have one kilovault HLX 12V 300 AH battery. I have a 40amp inline...

I agree, I'm just running out of things to rule out! I think the most likely scenario is my cheap breaker is doing something weird even though it's not tripping. In the case that it is the breaker between the battery and the scc, can you recommend a more reliable one? Is there any reason I...

I recently installed my first solar system for a small cabin in northern California. I have 4 130w panels, a 40amp renogy charge controller, and a kilovault HLX lithium battery. My question is, what are the best settings for the charge controller with this battery? I haven't worried about it so...

Snoobler, Connected to the load port are 12v lights, 12v ceiling fan, propane fridge (minimal draw), power tool battery chargers. I turned every dc load on on my house and it was about 9amps. Wire gauge is correct. I turned the load off and the problem persisted. Rstone13, the battery itself is...

Thanks for your input, I agree with you that it sounds like a self resetting breaker

Oops hit reply too quick. I do not have a self resetting breaker. however, I do have a cheap breaker which I suspect is acting as a self resetting breaker when it shouldn't. I'm going to replace it with a higher quality one and hope for the best.

Thank you for the input everyone. I have ordered a high quality circuit breaker for the charge controller to battery wire. Based on the fact that my current breaker is a cheap no name I'm suspecting that that is the problem. instead of jumping the wires I am going to wait for the new breaker and...

I'll try it! It's the only thing I can think of to rule out besides my panels being faulty. Could you suggest a good way to jump the wires if when I take the breakers out?
