The slower mppt? So you have more than one. Maybe your battery does not need the charge.

Does the battery voltage drop?

Usually a battery will be charged, then drop to float. A new charge cycle only begins after it drops below float past the rebulk value.

If it does not then it will not charge again.

To customize the rebulk see these instructions.

Please post screen shots of both the MPPT battery settings and tell use exactly which batteries you have. Screen shots of the initial Victron connect page for both MPPTs also.

At13.8V, the battery isn't flat, it's full.

Please post the other screen shots as requested.

Why do you say the battery is flat?

@MCMatthias given your mppt reads 13.8v, and your battery reads 12v, there seems to be a disconnection between the mppt and battery.

Please check your fuse / breaker and cabling between the mppt and battery.
