    Yes I set voltometer for lower- 450 AH, to make sure that I did not drain it :) I have two batteries like this: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005002392267354.html

    Hi, I'm having trouble with my installation: - Tracer6415AN 60A - 3x 375W solar panels - 2x 250 AH 12V LiFePO4 I have a request for help with settings, my trouble is that having the battery about 70% charged, after 180 minutes of boost cycle, the solar charger goes to float and does not go...
  • Post in thread: Tracer goes to float without charging to full - setting review?

    I think all cell are balanced: First battery: Second battery: At 14.1V and 40A charge, I have 13.8V on the cable going to the battery on the Tracer side, and 13.4V at the battery and 13,38 on 12V installation side. It helps in the sense that I'm now at 14.1V and maxing out at 40A, and at...

    I have this device (Juntek Voltmeter): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33004341691.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2fra&spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802fcgC3L and it works quite well. It measures with an accuracy of about 5%. That is, if I have a 100% indication on it, the BMS is going to turn off...
  • Post in thread: Is my Tracer voltage is correct?

    Hi, I have 3 375W panels: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M34QlnQKalyOdh49BPWTR5LiCtojcFtK/view connected to Tracer10415AN. I am concerned about the voltage from the panels. Should it be more than 102V? For example, I am attach below the highest charge I've been able to get (usually it's 50-60A...

    Ok, thanks. On Tracer manual it even says to set it up at 13,8: I didn't know that could be a problem. I've read that lowering the charging voltage, say to 13.8V, will cause the battery to charge slower. So I figured this was normal behavior. I will test it again in a few hours and come back...

    Unfortunately with the Float setting at 13.5 volts, when the Boost timer runs out it goes to Float and does not go back to Boost. Boost reconnect is set to 13.4. It looks like the problem may be the voltage measurement in the regulator, which is overestimated compared to the actual on the BMS or...

    Yes, I was correct it it's about 110V:
  • Post in thread: Tracer goes to float without charging to full - setting review?

    Of course, but that's totally not the point here. The point is for me to visually see that it is 0% when there is still energy in the battery. This allows me to not drain the battery completely. But that's a completely different issue and not what this topic is about. BMS (cell overvoltage)...

    Hi, I tried your approach, but that wasn't it either. In my case it helped: - replacing the regulator with a 100A (was 60A) - changing the cables to 25mm (was 16mm) - and finally replacing the fuse - it turned out to be strangely faulty and didn't let more than 52A through (the fuse was 63A)...

    There is no information about it in manual: https://www.epever.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Tracer-AN50-100A-Manual-EN-V3.1.pdf Only about size. I am on the beach, can't do it now, but will do it when I go back from travels, in a few months I guess. I will check it, but still - floating...
