Victron bluetooth voltage accuracy?

[Lenny HB]

Doh....sorry, please

You need to turn off Equalization Voltage, it will wreck a gel.

OK, thanks Lenny

It is turned off

Looks ON to me green tick against it.

It's disabled in the setting lower

It’s on manual setting not auto. The only think is disabled is auto equalisation, but still a high voltage set. If you touch by mistake the “start” it will enter 1hr equalisation mode.
Lenny says to change the 16v voltage, and to right. You lower that equalisation voltage to bulk value or lower, if accidentally you touch start, will not equalise above bulk voltage.

I've had a gut full of this stuff now....the victron is now saying I've got no Watts or amps from the solar

That's because the batteries are charged.

Told you I was thick as .... when it comes to technical lectrickery

Thanks Lenny

The .25w is either a typo , or a mistake. Batt sense reads only temp and volts, not wats. If voltage at batt sense is higher by .25v compared to the controller, that’s your voltage drop from battery post to regulator, that means cable and connections are taxing you 0,25v.

That was my first thought

I agree with Spriddler on this... too much information is indeed counter productive and can lead to sleepness nights with worry..

I'm the opposite. I'm reassured this time of year when I walk past the van every so often and take the 10 seconds required to check the battery status on my phone. Even with the current short days and low sun (what sun?!) my meagre 100w of solar is keeping my hab battery (and my van battery via the CBE CSB2 battery master) nicely charged.
