Newly installed Orion xs 50a stays in absorption mode and does not have bulk timer setting.
I have a new xs Orion 50a charger. Previously I had a 20a competitor. I upgraded wiring for 50a.
I installed 20a back to verify wiring worked fine. It did. Configuration is truck to 15 foot teardrop camper.
After installing new unit:
Upgraded to latest firmware.
Set to lithium battery manufacturer recommended setting 14.6 v no float. Batteries are 2 12v 150ah wired in parallel. Both brand new.
The unit only goes goes into absorption mode.
Working with distributor I discharged batteries to
30% them charged to 50%, them 80% using 120v Victron lithium charger.
Same result, but the current varies. At 30% it pulled 30a but stayed in absorption mode. This was true at all SOC’s (charged via 120v charger up a point where current starts decreasing to levels you would expect in absorption mode.
The manual references a bulk charge time setting, which I wanted to verify /try setting as a troubleshooting option. I do not have this setting.
Online I found a picture a guy posted from 5 months ago. I do not have this setting option.
Picture with setting
Picture with my setting option
(Not sure that I will stay with 14.6v, but that is not relevant to this question and changing it doesn’t change my issue).
Thinking this might be related to my issue.
Thank you
Jim
