    High battery voltage on mt-50

    Nice, victron shunt lost connection, can’t get it to reconnect, even when 5ft away. I think I’m not going worry about.

    High battery voltage on mt-50

    Tomorrow I’ll see what my victron shunt shows.

    Yep it is at zero.

    High battery voltage on mt-50

    Ok just watched to go from 16v to 23.3. Instant just. Like right when the SCC stops charging. Tomorrow I’ll see about putting the video on a volt meter on the battery.

    High battery voltage on mt-50

    Up to 15 + volts at 32.2C temp. Wonder if that has anything to do with it ?

    High battery voltage on mt-50

    I have set to 14.4 today, will see how it goes.

    High battery voltage on mt-50

    Not possible, I work 7 days a week, so I’ll have to use the camera idea, I think lowering the max charge voltage will help it, will see today.

    High battery voltage on mt-50

    Thanks for the info, I hope lowering the max charge to 14.4 fixes it. Will see tomorrow, and will post my results. Maybe on Monday , I’ll put a video camera on it while it’s charging to see what is happening.

    High battery voltage on mt-50

    I’m going to try and lower the charge voltage to 14.4 and see what it does tomorrow.

    High battery voltage on mt-50

    Could it be when the battery BMS shuts off at full charge that it is seeing a spike in voltage ? I don’t know enough about this SCC. I’m still new to the solar world.

    High battery voltage on mt-50

    I have it at set to 12v. I have circuit breakers on the PV input. 7.5 amp. The voltage when I got home was 14.1. Was not charging at the time. My victron shunt showed 16.96 volts as max. I have ever had the PV connected without the battery. I do not have a fuse on the positive from the battery.

    High battery voltage on mt-50

    I have a epever BN 30 amp SCC w/ mt-50 12v SOK 100ah lifePo4 and 2 100 watts of solar. What I’m seeing is that my mt-50 shows 24.6 volts after it finishes charging. Why is this. Here are my settings. many idea of what it is doing ?

    New small solar build.

    Ok I have my solar parts Epever tracer 30amp 100watt 12v panels Victron smart shunt 100ah SOK 12v battery. I have a basic drawing of my wiring I’d like to know if it looks right, only thing I see is the fuse is wrong, as if it blows it will take out the SCC. I’m I right here?

    How to set up MPPT for lifePo4

    Thanks for the info, make sense, I’ll let you know how things go as I build the use the system.

    How to set up MPPT for lifePo4

    I have a SOK 100AH battery and victron smart shunt. I’ll be ordering a epever 30amp CC. Question I have is, I would like to only charge my battery to 80% and stop discharging at 30%. How do I set up my epever and smart shunt for this ? Will the BMS still work at these setting ? I would think...

    Thanks, enjoy your day.

    New small solar build.

    Thanks for the help. Also if I am reading right, you should connect the battery to the SCC first then the solar panels and disconnect the solar panels frost then the battery if needed. This is correct?

    Thanks for the reply, this are the panels I plan on using 2 in series. With 10 gauge wire about 25’ long. they are HQST 100watt panels.

    New small solar build.

    New here, been reading as much as I can on the site and have read Will’s book, still re-reading parts of it. My normal loads are only 41 watts being a normal load and 214 watts full load, this was from my victron smartshunt. I looking at adding solar with 2 100 watt panels and a victron 100/30...
