    Renogy 20A Charge controller suddenly shows no battery life

    Follow up question - I was curious if you have any other sort of battery monitor hooked up to your system (I currently don't) and if so, if that is reading correctly? Thanks!

    Renogy 20A Charge controller suddenly shows no battery life

    Good info - you are spot on this is exactly what they asked for and I sent it today - that is discouraging that they haven’t responded to you though

    Renogy 20A Charge controller suddenly shows no battery life

    Here’s another interesting finding - even though the charge controller is still showing E1 error and showing that battery is at 0% and providing 0 charge, It still seems like the battery is being charged I drew a load from the inverter for a few minutes verified the voltage drop and sure enough...

    Renogy 20A Charge controller suddenly shows no battery life

    Good to know thank you - I didn't realize that a water pump with a spec of 2.5A max could pull a significant amount more than that on startup - since the pump recommends using a 3A fuse wouldn't this blow the 3A fuse all the time on startup if this was the case?

    Thank you again for the response that’s what I was afraid of - I got my hands on a meter and the voltage on the battery reads 13.1 on both the battery itself and connectors on the CC. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the charge controller last night when there was no sun and unfortunately...

    Renogy 20A Charge controller suddenly shows no battery life

    Thanks for the response. The fuse that blew was between the device (water pump) and the charge controller. I was using the auxiliary load output just to test a few small load devices to make sure everything worked individually before hooking it all up. The 1.5A LED lights and 3A fan tested fine...

    Renogy 20A Charge controller suddenly shows no battery life

    I was testing small electrical items (light, water pump, etc.) through the load on a Renogy 20A charge controller. Lights tested fine but when I tested the water pump the fuse blew and suddenly the Charge Controller went from 100% to 0% battery and displayed Error 1 Battery Over-discharged. I...
