Hi All
I finally received all of the components for my Solar system
I have
2- Renogy 175 flexible panels wired in series on the Yakima tracks
1- Victron 100/30 Smart Solar Controller
1- Victron 712 Battery Monitor and temperature sensor
2- Rolls 6 Volt 275AGM Batteries
i have installed and set it all up and have been watching for the last 2 weeks with camper shut off (no load)
Can not field test as we are still in lockdown mode here.
What I'm seeing is that the SOC is slowly dropping every day and is now at 72%
The setting I'm using are from Rolls tech
BMV 712
Battery Cap 250
Charged V 14.7
Discharge Floor 50%
Tail Current 2%
Charge Det time 3mins I changed this from Rolls recommended 60 mins
Peukert 1.09
Charge Eff 80%
Current Threshold .10A
Victron 100/30 set points
Battery Preset User Defined
Expert Mode Yes
Absorb Voltage 14.7
Float Voltage 13.8
EQ Voltage 14.7
Absorb Duration Fixed
Tail Current 1 Amp
Temp Comp .02
Here is what I'm seeing this morning
BMV 712
72% SOC
Voltage 13.79
Current -0.25
Power -3W
Time since Full Charge 13 Days 19 Hours
100/30
Solar
7 W
Voltage 44.44
Current 0.1A
Battery
Voltage 13.79
Current 0.40
Temperature 17 C
State Float
Unsure why I'm not getting back up to full charge. It has to one of the setpoints I think
I see that every morning at first light it goes in to bulk charge for a short and then the rest of the day it stays in float.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm thinking of covering the solar panels and putting my Noco Genius 10 to recharge the batteries and reset and see what happens
Cheers
Glenn
