15A IP65 Blue Smart connection & mode issues

Q&A and troubleshooting

I’ve had this charger since August 2019. In the past is been balky when i try to change modes between LA and Li programs. This has carried over to the V C app as well. Last January i updated my phone to a Samsung 24+. The app works well with my two V MPPT controllers and the 702 BMV.

The IP65 will not connect nor will it allow me to reset the units password by holding the mode button for 10 seconds. I’ve read through the suggested trouble shooting steps. It will not respond to any mode button inputs. It does charge but is stuck in the Li program. Ive deleted the Bluetooth pairon this phone, deleted and reinstalled the app and booted the phone several times. I do see a message that it appears the IP65 is connected to another phone however ive only ever used my on personal phones, this current phone being the only one since i wiped the S10 befor upgrading.

Any help is welcomed. I hope its not bircked in Li mode.

Hi Dave,

It sounds to me like your charger may have a defective mode button. Could you disconnect the charger (from both the mains and the battery), wait for 2 minutes and then hold down the mode button while you plug the charger back into the mains.
If the lights start blinking fast, then you should be able to use VC to update the firmware, please do so.
If the lights do not start blinking, then this confirms that the mode button is defective.

Please let me know how it went.

Kind regards,
