Disclaimer: I’m a complete beginner. So I have a 24 V system. I am using two 200 amp hour “ampere time” lithium iron phosphate batteries in series (4800 watts). My system is built with almost every component from mobile solar power site.( https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/2000-watt-24v-solar-system.html ) it’s been up and running for almost two weeks now and has been really fun to watch it all work. I have a Victron Charge controller mppt 100/50 and victron bmv 712 to see how the system is doing. It’s been great. My loads are very minimal. I only run fans currently and it’s an average of 80 watts per hour. My system is always at 100 percent about 26.9 to 27.5 volts approximately. I have a 3000watt inverter for a coffe machine I’ve used.
Tonight I came home from a trip to the super market and my inverter was beeping continuously. I think it read “PL” on the little screen. All my power was gone. No lights would work on either dc or ac side of my system. When I tested the voltage of my batteries they continued to drop rapidly. Now they read 1.8 volts. I don’t know where to begin in order to trouble shoot. I don’t know what could have pulled that much power? I’m completely off grid here and completely lost.
