Colorado B.S. Thread

Are you talking to me? I cant make a video right now, but its a standard dual battery set up with the ML ACR in between the two. The solar panel goes to the charge controller then to the auxiliary battery. The fridge is plugged directly into the charge controller.

The charge controller is the Victron MPPT 75/15

 

I'll take a look at the manual for the charge controller at lunch and see if I can figure out anything.

Not sure how this would work...

What voltage is the controller getting from the panel?

the relay Shound be disconnecting if either side voltages drops.

What batteries?

 

I think it is improving. The charger has been on it now for 4 hours. The app finally recognized the controller and the voltage from the app matched what I was getting from the meter. I had disconnected the solar panel at the cables during charge since I couldnt turn it off on the app. The app did 2 firmware updates. Hopefully, things are on the right path.

Still doesnt answer why the relay switch was blinking unless that was a voltage thing too.

The curious thing, if the app knew it needed a firmware update, why didnt it do it? And how did it know know to stop working anyway???

 

It will be an authentic experience. Wait in a virtual line for 2 hours to have someone describe to you what a beer taste like!

 

So the relay was blinking saying a voltage limit hit and turned off.

so either the solar controller had an error or Fuse, or somthing. Lol

 

And Mr Edison takes a major jump up my rankings.

 

Part of me hopes it was the firmware update that caused the issue. The other part of me says why the hell would a firmware update not having been done stop charging anyway. Either way, I am going to let it finish charging (Im 8 hours in) and then hook everything back up.

Thanks for digging that up. Makes me feel much better about the relay switch anyway.

 

Oh hell no!!
I just spit my beer out!!

 

I seriously had to do a double take tp make sure that was photoshopped! Well played sir

 

For the record that’s how bad my 84 was with rust...

 

FYP

 

I feel like my tires and rims were used for this photoshop job.

 

Watching this far to much.

 

Well this morning the fridge was off again and the aux battery was at 9.7 volts. I wasnt able to let the charging "finish" yesterday. After 9.5 hours, it was time to go home. Looks like it may be time for a warranty swap. 1 year in to an Odyssey AGM is not going to cut it.

 

It will eventually break its way out. Just keep watching.

another think I’m reading is the plates cound be bad now and killed the battery
