  • Post in thread: Renogy Wanderer over voltage

    Ok, thanks! I’ll see if I can change the settings. Not sure that charge controller will allow me to update it, but I’ll try. It’s a PWM charge controller by the way.
  • Post in thread: Voltage increase when load applied

    I don’t think the Bluetooth app will allow me to monitor the BMS. You are correct, when I turn the lights off the voltage stays at 13v for a while. I’ll try to see how long until it drops back down. And I’m not sure why my voltage of my battery is so low. The “smart” battery tells me I have...
  • Post in thread: Voltage increase when load applied

    I’m not sure, I just noticed yesterday when I was using my multimeter to try and trouble shoot the battery error code issue. I have an AC to DC charger that I am going to try out tomorrow to charge the battery fully and see if the voltage still drops after being idle for a few minutes. I’ll also...
  • Post in thread: Voltage increase when load applied

    It’s one of the smart renogy batteries so it has a RS485 port that I can connect a BT-2 module to see the SOC. I have the renogy wanderer li 30a charge controller and a single 100w solar panel. It’s just set to the out of the box lithium setting, but am going to try to reduce the boost...
  • Post in thread: Renogy Wanderer over voltage

    According to Renogy the BMS over voltage protection kicks in at 14.8v. If the charge controller is set to only charge up to 14.2v during boost, why would the BMS over-voltage protection be triggered?
  • Post in thread: Renogy Lithium at 14.4 volts?

    What’s everyone setting for their absorption time for Renogy lithium batteries? I have a Victron Orion DC/DC charger that I am using to charge my 100ah Renogy Lithium battery. I have the following settings: Boost voltage: 14.4v Float voltage: 13.6 Re-bulk offset: .3 Fixed absorption time: 1hr...
  • Post in thread: Renogy Wanderer over voltage

    Hi everyone, I’m seeing some strange behavior with my renogy wanderer 30a charge controller hooked up to my renogy 100ah lithium battery. I had a PV over voltage error on the charge controller this morning when my battery entered boost charging. I also noticed that my heater was throwing an...
  • Post in thread: Voltage increase when load applied

    Hi all, Saw something strange today and was wondering if anyone has any insight. I have a renogy 100ah lithium battery and was measuring the voltage with my multimeter at 12.5v with no loads applied. However, when I turned on my lights which are hooked up to the battery, the voltage of the...
  • Post in thread: Renogy Wanderer over voltage

    I was definitely seeing E10, but not sure how accurate that is. From my experience so far, the renogy error codes don’t seem too helpful. This is a brand new setup. I have a single 100W Renogy solar panel. VOC is 24.3v. That is wired to a Wanderer Li 30a charge controller and a 100ah lithium...

    Correct. Battery voltage was 12.5v with no loads and then jumps to 13v when the lights are turned on.
