My BlueSmart IP65 12/15a charger is set to the lithium setting to charge my LiFePO4 battery bank and it was in Bulk charge mode for a couple hours but dropped into Storage mode long before the batteries were fully charged (87% SOC and only 13.4v on the SmartShunt). I picked up the charger and it is hot! IR thermometer shows 134°F on the front and 160°F on the back. Additionally, I can't connect to it via Bluetooth with either of my two devices. When I unplugged it and plugged it back in, it entered Absorption mode again and started charging at 12a.
I see that the manual says it'll reduce output up to 140°F; however, I'm over that, and I'm suspicious about heat damage since I can no longer connect via Bluetooth (and could just a few days ago).
First time that's ever happened and I don't recall it ever getting this hot before. Is this normal or should I be talking to Victron for a warranty replacement?
