Roger that. I'll get on setting up the monitor correctly. I took a look at it just now and saw that I didn't even put any value in for High V or Low V, I just left it at 0 for some reason... I have had this system installed since March-April 2022. So I have yet to put any significant loads on it...

Thank you for replying. I'll attach some photos of my setup. I know its not very pretty, but I tried to wire it up as close as possible to the set-up done by Will Prowse. So, the info from the bluetooth could be wrong as well? If so, would that mean that this battery is shot? My biggest fear is...

Okay. I have to let my battery charge up again for a few days. Last week I was running my inverter with no loads to make sure its power draw was normal according to the manual, which turned out to be fine. Once charged to 100% I'll disconnect the solar panels and check its resting voltage. I...

Okay, I think I am beginning to understand. I'll drop the boost volts down, as well as the float, and go from there. The battery monitor settings we discussed I have already put into place. Something to take note of too perhaps is that my solar array is under a lot of shade all the time. I...

TLDR at the bottom. I am just trying to provide as much context as I can. Hello all. I am new here, and somewhat new to solar power systems. I have what I would guess to be a pretty general 400 watt 12v system. 4 100 watt solar panels, 40amp MPPT CC, 12v 200ah bluetooth battery, and a 2000 watt...

So according to the CC and the batt monitor I have reached full SOC. Although the bluetooth app has the cap at 75.5%... The voltage has stopped at 14.3 volts on all mediums, including my multimeter. After my last comment I did reset the batt monitor full volts to 14.0. and zero to 10.5. I...

How do I get to "USER" mode? The manual is not helping in this regard. I mean, it tells me to access this by using the DC Home app, but on the app it has no such function or option, or maybe the place to change battery settings is very hard to find.

Earlier this week I got the battery back up to 100%. I disconnected the solar panels yesterday and checked the voltage just now. The CC and battery monitor both read 13.4v. My multimeter read 13.39v. Im assuming that 0.01v is accounting for power usage over night by the draw from the batt...

That's what I was figuring. But my concern is that maybe the battery is actually behaving according to it's internal BT monitoring even though they are incorrect, which would mean its acting like a 150ah batt instead of the 200ah its supposed to be. Its just a theory. I am currently...

Just an update. So voltage reading have been consistent. I tried lowering the boost voltage two different times. So far the only results I've seen is that the batt capacity reading on this app is getting lower, even though the volts read over 14.0. And again, the DC Home app has been useless...

This is weird. The manual for my Rover is completely different. And in this manual it actually doesn't list an equalization voltage setting for LFP batteries, and I am assuming thats because LFP batteries automatically balance? Even in the manual for my battery it hardly even mentions balancing...

I might have to do that. Capacity on the monitor and CC are reading 100% (I know CC capacity is only voltage based) with both showing voltages of 13.4, and the monitor is indicating that it is still charging even though it shows cap at 100%. This makes me think that the battery and the other...

Hey, Mike. Thanks for checking in. If you look at my last reply to tomthumb62, my concern now is that as of today the batt monitor and CC are reporting full SOC, but they have been showing a voltage of 13.4 volts, and the batt monitor is still saying that its receiving a charge. I just...

Thank you for your response. Am I adjusting the charge voltage in the charge controller or in DC Home? Or the battery monitor?

You know, I may have set up the monitor incorrectly like you said. Because, I don't remember setting the Full Volts to 14. I'll check again and report back to be sure, but I am thinking that my mindset at the time was "oh it's a 12 volt system so full voltage must be 12 volts..." I have a...

I'll give this a shot. Although I don't know how to reset the calibration in the battery. The DC Home app doesn't really have any where that I can change any settings. It's just a battery or device status display, a store/shopping tab and something like social media.

The battery monitor I have is Renogy's RBM500. It could be that the CC needs specific programming. Per the CC manual it shows the programming parameters to be Battery Type (LI), System Voltage (12v), Equalization Voltage, Boost Voltage, Over-Discharge Voltage, Over-Discharge Return Voltage...

So I finally found the USER mode. Didn't realize that its in one of the option for programming the battery chemistry type. The manual doesn't explain this, like its hidden... So I took your advice and changed the equalization to no higher than 14.6v. Other than that I don't know what else to...
