Hello, I have a victron 100|50 and a failing 24v battery bank. Most days, the battery bank makes it through the day & night to the next sunrise (charge cycle). Except when it doesn't.

Is the victron 100|50 capable of powering itself back on for 24v battery charging in cases where the battery is discharged to 25.1 or 25.0 volts?
 
Cannot see a problem, 25 volts for any battery type is a respectable state of charge.
The solar input from the panels needs to be greater than (v batt +5) , 30 volts in your case, for the controller to power up. Once running the panel volts need to be (v batt +1) or greater.
The Victron unit 'remembers' the battery setting of a 24 volt system whilst the unit is active.
The Victron 100/50 will remain active down to around 7 volts battery input.
If the voltage falls below 7 volts the unit switches off and will auto detect the system voltage when next connected.

Comprehensive information on the Victron solar controllers is available,

Thank you

I was needlessly disconnecting & reconnecting the mppt to a "known good" 25+ v battery to somehow reactivate it in a panic because my inverter's lvd triggered.
