Bulk voltage=28.4I would expect to see
bulk/absorbtion_voltage=
float_voltage=
Charge cycle being 3 stages is relevant.
I would like to know what the enumeration of those 3 stages is.
If you post a link to the manual I will take a look.
Not quite, our friend basically made the purchases for us and set it up for us but left little in the way of instructions and has been unreachable for quite some timeI think its this battery https://www.solarshoppingmall.com/Eaton-140Ah-12V-AGM-Battery_p_162.html
Seems to be AGM.
Did you inherit this system?
I ask because you don't seem to be familiar with the details.
I need all the vals as described in the other postBulk voltage=28.4
Absorb voltage= 27.5
Float voltage= 27
StandbyCustom Battery Settings Menu on page page 4-20
try configuring Eqlz Support=disabled
When you do please post values for these keys here

I don’t understand, the value isn’t the thing to the right of each of those things? Sorry man, new to this. I appreciates yous helpin me good buddyThose pictures do not include what I asked for.

I’m going to have to get back to you tomorrow about this I think. I’ve looked all through the interface for another place showing values for those things besides in custom settings and I am not having luck. Thank you for your help, I appreciate itpage 3-10 describes how to navigate the interface.
I showed you the place in the doco that describes how to navigate the menu and I gave you the page number in the doco that shows you the keys we want to access.I’m going to have to get back to you tomorrow about this I think.

@sunshine_eggo seems to know lead acid parameters which is a blind spot for me, and always will be ?.
Since somebody got my attention...
First and foremost... clean those damn batteries. Get as much off as you can with a dry rag or brush and then wipe them off with a slightly damp towel/rag/etc.
Unfortunately, these are poor batteries for this application. These are basically backup power batteries, i.e., batteries designed to be floated for very long periods of time between uses. When used, they provide backup power at a very high current while another power source comes on line like a generator.
It's very hard to say what needs to be done. There's a reason they only give a float voltage of 13.5-13.8 as that's the way they should be charged. These batteries are not designed for regular cycling. They likely have a very poor cycle life.
Please see if you can find the absorption time. The default is 180 minutes per the manual.

EDIT: in re-reading some bits of this thread and the manual, I'm sure there's more going on than this. I don't see that this is necessarily related to the fault. Need more information on the fault.
More importantly than all of the the above, which only applies for AC charging, I'd like to see the SOLAR charge controller values.
You need to become a lot more familiar with your system. Off grid is not a set and forgot. That being said, you have two methods of charge. One being the charger in the inverter, the other the solar panels through the charge controller.Hello! We’re running a relatively small solar system and recently have begun seeing dc overload faults on our Conext SW 2524 inverter. I’m not even really sure what information to provide or what to ask so I’ll just state what I know and see what someone who knows what they’re talking about thinks.
Charge state used to be on float and now is only on either bulk or standby and will not change
Equalize is set to disabled and will not turn on
Generator (7500) watt will consistently create dc overload
Says recharge level set to 25.1. What does this do? Start or stop recharge at set amount?
Inverter set to 30amp max but we have 70amp total charge controllers hooked up to solar.
Sorry if this isn’t enough to get a clear idea. Please let me know what info is required for advice to be given and I will do my best. We had a friend set up this solar system and he is well.. unreliable. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give.
Thank you for your response! I’ll clean my batteries off immediately. The absorb time appears to be set at 30m, do you think I should raise it?
In other, concerning news, my inverter seems to not want to register power coming from my house.
The power still works with the generator, but won’t otherwise despite the batteries having a charge of 27.9. The inverter just doesn’t show any variable load from the house like usual, just 0. I’ve checked the battery terminals and the side of the inverter terminals and everything seems to check out. I haven’t changed any settings except for disabling equalize support as per advice on this forum, which I have since re-enabled.
