What voltage?
Any alarms?
Try battery type USE and set absorption to 55.2V, float to 55.1.

Not sure of the voltage as the unit is 4 hours from where I am. I will try setting those. The setting on the inverter is set for the Lifepower with the connected cons cable. Any idea why this would happen after working drone for 5 months?

Cell imbalance.
Poor PV conditions.
Sometimes these cheap Chinese units just need to be reset/power cycled.
I made the changes support requested. Fix it so far. Need to cycle the pack a few more times and then see if it sticks. Happy so far.

Can you post what changes support suggested for th next person who may run into this issue? I'd be curious to know, just for my own personal knowledge.

How long have you had your batteries for? If they are new, you'll need to cycle them to calibrate the BMS.
If it's been in use for a while, then what is your depth of discharge?
The BMS inside is similar to a car. You need to perform maintenance on it every so often. Just to make sure that it stays calibrated.

I finally got back to our place to get the changes. They were 1) USE MOde. 2) Setting #26-Volt change to 56.2v(charging voltage) 3) Setting #29 Low DC Cutoff to 46v, float to 55.1
As of the time of the problem, about 14 months, so not new. The house runs while we are gone, often the DOD is 20-30%, recharges by about noon each day.

Those are the changes I recommended. Are "support" and I in agreement, or have you confused me with "support."?
