Victron MPPT 150/100 output current
We have 1600 watts of solar feeding the controller. Yes, Victron says 1450 watts max. My understanding is that the controller limits input voltage to 150 VDC and output current to 100 amps. But I c...

The Victron app indicates a max voltage in the low 90s. Running 4s, 2p on the panels.
I would expect during bulk charge that all available controller current would go to the load with any remaining current going to batteries. Then when the A/C starts, the batteries would supply any extra needed current. In other words, the controller is already putting out max current when the A/C starts.
Doesn't make sense to me. As mentioned above, a spike must occur and the controller tries to supply the spike instead of the batteries.
An automotive style 120 amp breaker is on the output of my controller. It looks like I might need something that can handle a spike.
