Hi! after the update, the charger won’t work properly. First it stays pretty long (about 1 minute) in test mode, which it never has done before. Then it switches back and forth between bulk and absorption mode (every few seconds). The voltage stays below 12.8V and current under 1.0A. It pretty much doesn’t do anything.
Looks like you’re not alone…
I have same problem. Is there a solution yet?
I suspect that the internal relay of your charger is defective.
This is (normally) covered by the 5 year warrantee. You can contact your dealer via this form to handle the RMA:

Then why did it start with firmware update and others with same issue after updating?
12v 15A
I have three - all can no longer charge after firmware update
Test cycle is long then flips between bulk and absorption
Tried two different batteries - smart solar 15 and 20 amp mppt chargers will charge these same batteries no issue
Yep, I have three of these and all three started with the same symptoms. All three of these are bought at different times so I doubt they are from the same batch.
All seem to skip between absorption and bulk
