Installed my first system and it was working well for the first day. Day 2 things started acting up. The inverter was beeping loudly and shut itself down. Then I started it back up and it happened again in about 20 min. This is happening when the charge controller is saying the battery has a full charge. I unplugged my fridge and it stopped happening. My fridge is a stand-up freezer converted to a fridge with a temp bypass and should not exceed the capacity of the inverter. I ordered a watt meter to check it out.
But, as the inverter was doing its thing the charge controller began to blink both the pv light and the battery light slowly, in tandem. I see nothing in the manual about this particular blink situation. I flipped the breaker to reset it and it goes back to solid battery light and blinking pv, as is appropriate for the conditions- but then returns to the slow blink for both after a minute or two.
I set controller to 'user' and did basically the settings that Will Prowse does in a video for setting the Epever to BattleBorn lithium batteries.
This is my setup, (built with future expansion in mind):
SOK 100 amp battery
Epever 40 amp charge controller
Gowise 1000 watt inverter
100 watt panels x2
Anyone have any ideas or want to point me in a direction for investigation?
