Fogstar lithium battery app - putting battery to sleep

[wuzzlewood]

All,

I hope someone can help?

I have just finished fitting a Fogstar 105ah battery in my Bailey motorhome.

Fogstar confirmed last week that switching off the “discharge” option on the app would effectively put the battery in sleep mode!

I seem to have a parasitic discharge and the ability to switch off the battery appealed to me.

I have tried switching off discharge while in the van with some lights on and nothing happens!

Any ideas ?

I will contact Fogstar tomorrow as they were very quick to respond last week and I need to confirm which of the two lithium profiles preset it my Sterling BBS1230 is best to use!

Thanks anyway
Steve

Do you have solar?

 

[wuzzlewood]

Yes, the Sterling is a combined mppt and b2b unit.
I only have 100 w of solar currently plus the van is in a barn so no solar working in the dark.

When you shut off discharge, does it still show current flow in the app?

 

[wuzzlewood]

No nothing shows only the voltage and % full, the Sterling unit is off as it doesn’t see any solar voltage due to it being in a barn.
