MPPT Charge Controller Troubleshooting
Hi all,
I have the following setup.
230W panel
2 new 6V batteries with new cable terminals
20 amp MPPT charge controller
Xantrex 600W inverter
Solar red light is lit.
Battery green light is flashing.
Load light never comes on.
System chareges during the day, shuts off at night and I need to reset the charge controller.
Xantrex shows the volts so I know power is coming in.
Batteries were changed only because the previous ones were eight years old. I hadn't used the trailer since March so I don't know the previous status except for the fact that it has worked fine for more than 5 years so I can't say that the battery change had anything to do with it.
Why am I not getting a load light if I have interior lights turned on?
Why does the MPPT have to be reset?
The volts go as high as 13.4 during peak sun hours.
I am not an electrician nor do I have a lot of battery experience. I installed the system with the help of friends and it has always worked.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
