I've only tried the quick charge option once and it worked fine. I don't have much use for it, just tried it out - but I see you are running in lead-acid mode where I'm used closed-loop comms...
Yeah, custom pack. Anyway Quickcharge has worked fine until today. Was going do some baselining of my battery pack and wanted to charge it up with Quickcharge...but a no-go due to this error.

I can’t offer any help but I do wish the button existed with my Sol-Ark. It’s a really neat feature.
I can’t remember, is that option available on the inverter, or does it have to be done via the app? If available directly on the screen, do you have a different result locally?

I have not seen it as an option on the screen itself or in the manual outside of reference to the web or mobile application.

That very well may be the case, I couldn’t remember. Might be a great feature request too for future firmware updates. Having a handy single button press to charge the battery’s available locally would be awesome.
As completely dumb as this may sound, I would start by rebooting the inverter. To this day it blows my mind how often that solves annoying problems with electronics, especially ones with nonsense errors like, “unknown”. Seems like it can just be software or firmware stuck in a loop. Might be worth a try!
Thought about it, reluctant to bring up a reboot to the wife..lol.

You’re using the wrong words.. System reliability and safety upgrade.
Fortunately or unfortunately in this instance, she knows me all to well and knows when I'm talking shit.
I feel like this is an app/web API problem where it's not passing all the correct parameters to the inverter. Quickcharge has worked without fail until now.

That’s why I was thinking the reboot

Yes - smoke out of the wife’s ears is almost as bad as magic smoke out of the inverter

I have just noticed this issue on another system I was working on, and we are actively investigating this issue. A current work around may be setting the AC charge according to time instead of voltage/SOC.
@EG4_Jared thanks for the reply but that work around for time doesn’t help with devices that fluctuate with usage such as my minisplits, weather not predictable.
I went back and looked at my battery voltage chart and realized the last time this worked was this morning. Forgot I enabled QuickCharge before we went skiing at 8am ET so the issue started some time after that. It finished the QuickCharge at 9am as expected.
Yes, Quickcharge is still broken as of yesterday, just tried again a few minutes ago. Didn't do a firmware update or anything. Still think it's something with the backend API's the web/mobile apps interface with.

Having the same issue here as well. It was working previously and getting the same “unknown error” message.
