Hello,
I started having a problem with my system one month after installation with no issues prior. Since moving to a warmer climate (where the average daily temperature is 100 degrees F), the numbers reading form the Renogy. bluetooth app and the charge controller, when compared to the capacity of the batteries, is not adding up. With a multi-meter, I cannot find a reason for the batteries being fully depleted, considering the demand.
We have the following solar set up in our converted van:
- 2 x 300AH, 24 volt LifePo4 batteries connected in parallel
- 2 x 365w solar panels
- 1 x 30amp Renogy Rover charge controller
- 1 x 2kw AIMS inverter/charger
The Renogy App reads the following:
- Panel - 27.4v, 0.18A, 5w from panels at 7:30pm (after sunset)
- Battery - 24.6v, 60%, 0.19A, 25 degrees C (the temperature never changes and it's most definitely hotter than that)
By 11:30pm the alarm goes off and the app says 0%, 21.9v, 0A
Test volts at connected battery is 10.2v when depleted
When sun comes up batteries go to 100% in less than 2 hours
Biggest draw is a 110v fridge drawing 0.8amps
Thank you so much for any responses or guidance, I'm new to this, and feeling a little lost!
