Hi
First off let me start by saying I'm not electrical expert. (ie be gentle .. lol )
I have a basic grounding but no more.
(Though I have watched a few of Wills videos)
I've been increasingly engaged with creating an off grid life style, or at least one that relies on the grid minimally.
My newest project is made up of :
4 X 250W 28.5Voc Solar Panels in parallel
An EPEVER TRACER 4210AN (40A)
1x LiFePO4 25.6v 200Ah 5120Wh Battery
A 3000w 24v/240v inverter. (uk)
All New
Where I live sunshine is not Californian in duration or intensity but as spring draws on I'm getting a few consecutive days of blue sky that register a good and constant 27v+ form the panels.
My issue is the battery charging level seems to have stalled at 25.2-3 v. ( noted over several weeks )
The battery icon on the LCD remote controller display shows the battery only about 5/8 full all be it with a smiley face ( I told you I was not expert )
Is this a case of adjusting the settings.
Or a more fundamental issue.
Below I've listed the default settings:
Type: Sealed ( options: Flooded, Gel, User )
Batt : 200AH
Temp Comp Coeff : -3mv/C/2v
Rated Voltage - Auto ( options: 12v/24v )
Over Volt Disc : 32.0v
Charge Limit : 30.0v
Over Volt Rec : 30.0v
Equal Charge : 29.2v
Boost Charge : 28.8v
Float Charge : 27.6v
Boost Rec : 26.4v
Low Volt Rect : 25.2v
Under Volt Rect : 24.4v
Under Volt Warn : 24.0v
Low Volt Disc : 22.2v
Discharge Limit : 21.2v
Equalize Time :120min
Boost Time :120min
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Regards
Duncan
