    Swapped from GEL to Lithium, now getting Battery OVD

    Thank you for that - I understand... never had a battery that could turn itself off. I've been at 14.2v boost for 2 days now and haven't had the OVD again.

    Swapped from GEL to Lithium, now getting Battery OVD

    Thank you all for commenting - I've changed the settings to a more conservative set and I'll be watching to see if things go better.

    Swapped from GEL to Lithium, now getting Battery OVD

    You've helped me in the past with my questions and I'm hoping I can get some advice on what's happening... I just swapped from 12v GEL to 12v Lithium batteries in my camper (converted ambulance). I'm using an Epever Tracer AN 100a controller with a custom profile. My Tracer doesn't have a...

    What power should I be seeing from my PV?

    I was in bulk mode when I did that reading. I wanted to be in bulk and run the A/C for 'max' load.

    What power should I be seeing from my PV?

    Thank you all for your info and taking the time to reply. I am at peak sun right now and I have the A/C running. On the Tracers' MT50 I'm seeing: 834w 16.4a 50.9v So, it looks like I do not have a panel/wiring problem and that both strings of 3 panels are operating.

    What power should I be seeing from my PV?

    Yes, tomorrow I'll get a look at the output while I'm pulling a load on it and see what it shows. The shading has been an issue for me at times and I pick my locations based on direct sun because of it. So far it hasn't been enough of a problem to entertain a change but... Thank you.

    What power should I be seeing from my PV?

    Ahh - you've just given me another piece of understanding; thank you! What you're saying if I understand - even if the panels can give 1140w, if there is not a need for it (low discharge of batteries, a high load [Air Conditioner, microwave]) then I won't see that high level of PV power. I...

    What power should I be seeing from my PV?

    I hope someone can lend a hand - I installed my system last November on to my truck. I have 6 Rich Solar 190w panels. 3 in series, 3 in series, then those 2 sets wired in parallel on to a 12v Epever Tracer 10420AN 100amp controller and 3x Renogy 100Ah 12v Gel batteries. The panels are: Rich...
