  • Post in thread: Basic LiTime 100Ah + two flexible 140W panels issues

    Thank you again for your input. I still have issues with this battery. It is a second time that charging quickly goes into float state after couple hours of moderate use (windows laptop 10-50W, 80Wh consumed since last top up as per VictronConnect) so it must be drained some. What could be the...

    Is it normal for this socket to wiggle? https://share.icloud.com/photos/0cfRytMeIwZhInWCuetkGMJ_Q

    I have 100Ah LiFePO4 which soaks energy like a sponge so no problem with the reception It seems I still have a bottleneck somewhere :(
  • Post in thread: Basic LiTime 100Ah + two flexible 140W panels issues

    Ok, I think I have an imperfect set of (flexible) panels Could you please help me understand its configuration? I assume there are 2 serially wired sets of 12 parallel 9V strings (giving 18V panel) I have correct open circuit voltage but lower than expected current flow I have found places...

    Ok, there was a cold solder on battery positive terminal of smart solar mppt wire connector; thank you victron's manufacturing plant; I hope it ends my journey with this mppt brick/solar setup

    Hi, I have recently bought basic LiTime 100Ah battery After couple of days of uninterrupted usage yesterday I got cut off from the cells by BMS just by plugging 5W usb charger (through smart solar). What could be the reason? The day before I have fully charged it (next pic). LiTime support is...

    How fast does it act? Why no burn marks? Yes I was also curious why charging last only couple of minutes after reaching 14.4V. I have tail current set to 2A and absorption fixed of 24h. Could I somehow prolong charging?

    Can you please recalculate it for today? Now when I have corrected bad solder point I do not get voltage drops while moving the cables which is good but I am still at 130W from both panels at once in a clear sky (~50%)
  • Post in thread: Basic LiTime 100Ah + two flexible 140W panels issues

    Ok then I am assuming a short (waiting for better connectors currently) I knew that going below 2A will terminate it so I have set time to the max available. Charge drop took couple of minutes. I am charging below 10A. I have another issue of getting 150W max from nominal 2x140W panels. I...

    Any advise on opening litime battery box? I need to add heating and temperature sensor. Edit: it is now opened

    So I need to pull for those errors or use a gateway, thanks
  • Post in thread: Basic LiTime 100Ah + two flexible 140W panels issues

    Ok. I will give it a try. Tessaloniki, Greece Mobile so always aimed at the Sun. 18.7V 7.5A In series so 40V/7.5A max 75/15 so within the limits (limited by thermals only)

    yes but it is about knowing right away rather than later :)
  • Post in thread: Victron Smart Shunt alerts

    Hi, will Victron Smart Shunt alerts be delivered to my phone in a push fashion that is even when the phone's screen is turned off?
