Each time, when examining my solar setup now and then, I will find that the controller seems to show everything normal, with the blue “Bulk” LED being lit, but the load is disabled. But if I disconnect the solar input, (essentially “rebooting” the controller?) the load circuit comes back “on”. I see this every time. The the app shows normal historical solar activity. The Li-ion battery is always fully charged. The load will stay on for quite a while, but eventually I must leave my setup. The next time, days or weeks later, the load is again disabled. It is disconcerting that the load will turn off at some later time all on its own. Anyone see anything like this?
Thanks for the reply. I have it set at the default (Battery Life).
OK, and thanks for that information. So are you saying it is possible that each time I check on my system, I am seeing one of the periodic load disconnect events? Possible, I guess, but the history I see from the app shows a regular high level of solar input. Anyway, I think I will change to one of the user-defined load options like the “user defined algorithm 1” and set my own hard limits. Any recommendations on the settings for a Lithium ion battery?
OK, and thanks again. Maybe someone else has seen this odd disabling of the load output. And maybe when I manually select the load on/off voltages the problem will go away. Lastly, it is important, I think, that disconnecting the solar input seems to “reset” the controller, and it then acts normally. Maybe I will call in to Victron about it.
