    Epever Load Current Question?

    Thanks Initially I thought the same and it does make sense but occasionally I've seen the charger go back to bulk voltage again for much longer than expected once a temporary load is removed, I suppose it doesn't matter because the current draw will be low but I was slightly concerned with the...

    What, only four wires?

    Thanks for the replies. I suspected the load icon and value for load current in the charge controller display might now be redundant and that's no problem as I can find another work-around to monitor everything and realise that the charge controller will always try and match the battery charging...

    Epever Load Current Question?

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I realise that the charge controller will always satisfy the demand from batteries and load combined and that arrangement works well for me. My concern was that the charge controller may not remember what stage it had reached in charging the batteries if there was a...

    What, only four wires?

    Thanks for that and yes, that's how I've been running my system for some time but, it does beg several questions: 1) Why have Epever bothered to put the load current icon in the display with a permanent zero value? 2) If a load is placed on the battery during bulk charge that pulls the battery...

    What, only four wires?

    Using the Epever Tracer AN 100A charge controller. It only has 'solar in' and 'battery out' cables!! How on earth is it supposed to know what the load current is to charge the batteries correctly? In other words, what additional magic box do I need to tell the Tracer AN what current the loads...

    Epever Load Current Question?

    Been using my system for a while without any active data or data-logging so it's about time to sort that out. Off-grid for most of the year so usually let the bulk-charge finish before any heavy loads, then overnight on batteries. The Epever Tracer AN 100A MPPT solar charger is different to...
