Well I had a perfect storm of sorts last night.
Yesterday was an almost zero solar day, so I had set my AC discharge higher than normal, to make sure i had battery juice in case of an outage. I set it to 60%.
When I got home, since we were running on grid power, I decided to plug in my EV, but to the the level 1 charger, luckily.
About 3 AM, we lost power, batteries took over, all good. But of course the stupid L1 charger was plugged in, and when I got up at 630, the batteries were down to 29%. Grrr.
Unhooked the charger, and broke out the generator, for the first time.
Small 7 K (8.25 surge) generator, but more than enough to carry my typical <1K load and charge batteries.
On the 18, I had the gen size set to 7, which I figured would do something. I think I was wrong.
The charge AMP on the generator tab was set to 100.
Start generator, chugging along nicely, pulling about 6K, as expected (1K load 5K charge).
Well then, the well or something kicked on, and tripped the breaker on my generator. I had mistakenly thought the inverter would have reduced power to the batteries, and switched to the load, since you set the Generator KW.
Anyway, reduced the AMP to 65, which leaves me 3K headroom, which should be enough for any load coming online. Once we get around 50%, will kill the generator and hope for a reasonable solar day.
Did I mention I am taking delivery of 6 more batteries today?
