I apologize to the group, but I am not sure if this is the correct way to reference another post.
Generator Running during cool down period but does not shed loads - #15 by johnjaymack.
I am currently dry camping in Nevada and using the generator every day for battery recharge. None of the suggestions made that I have tried have seemed to make an improvement. On Saturday, I tried disabling all of my Node Red flows to see if that might help. The system was still rebooting. Load shedding was still not working. On Sunday I tried to revert to the standard Venus OS software without Node Red. The system rebooted 5 times in 1 hour and 7 times before I got a reasonable battery recharge. Today I followed the instructions to do a fresh install of the Venus software. So far, I have gone through a complete recharge with no reboots.
I am including the uptime responses in case those with a better understanding of the software may see something.

I notice that at “23:13:53” the load average hit 4.05. I do not know why and can only guess. Over the course of the last few days I have noticed that the use of the new gui seems to cause a high load average usage. I cannot support this observation with any hard facts.
The Cerbo GX is such a nice package, I hate to think that I may have to abandon it for a more powerful computer. But it seems to me that the improvements in the Venus OS software maybe approaching the limits of what the Cerbo CPU can handle.
I will update this post after a couple more days reporting if the rebooting issue is corrected. During that time, I will be looking into my options for running a second computer, maybe a second Cerbo or a Raspberry Pi dedicated to running Venus OS Large and Node Red so that I can get my load shedding routines back online while the main Cerbo handle my system, or whether I must investigate a new CPU, Raspberry Pi, that can run Venus OS Large, take care of all of the basic routines and handle the Node Red load shedding routines.
All for now.
