Hi all
In my van I have the below setup.
24v 100ah lifepo4
Smart solar 100/15
BMV712
2x Battery sense (van & house)
Orion Smart charger 12/24 10
MPP clone 24/3000
It's not super cold where I live but often drops to 0c overnight, this forces the solar charge not to work in the mornings as cutoff is set at 6c, problem is that if I use the van in the mornings the dc/dc charger will start up and push the nearly 10a straight to battery, it appears to not use the low temp cutoff provided by the battery sense to the shunt like the solar charge does.
Did I miss something in the settings, is this the way it's supposed to operate, any way to work around this?
Is this 10a going to damage the battery if it's charging with the battery between 0c and 6c?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have
Nick
