- Batteries bought January 2013
- Load test after first occurrence indicated solid health
- Samsung RF18, on E Saver mode
- No electric heating pads for bay/tank areas
- Normal 'idling' draws. (Computer, phones, DirecTV, WifiRanger, Dyson charge, Microwave clock, etc.
(We sized the battery bank to not need to economize too much. Usually go overnight, few hours of TV/DVR, coffee pot electric brew in the AM, and then check SOC 30 mins later and are in 75% SOC range - usually a bit above 75%.)
- I'll recheck all of the connections, again. But I just checked them after having a Chassis battery replaced about two months ago. (And, the last time this happened, it was 6-8 months ago, prior to the Chassis swap out.) All grounds were cleaned, and protected, at time of
Appreciated the snap shot on the Error readings.
No way can I think of any 'legitimate' load of 44A at that time.
But even if it had been a big hit of 44A. Drew the battery to 8.5V and LBCO did it's thing. I'm puzzled why the Inverter did not kick back on when the BMK Meter indicated readings were 12.3-12.4V when I saw the Fault at about 7:10AM?
" The inverter will automatically restart and resume operation when the battery voltage rises to ?11.0 VDC (12-volt models), ...".
Generator start, and power coming in, did restart the Inverter/Charger again.
Keep it coming on the input. Especially if any of you have had experiences with intermittent board failures.
Wife has me going off for a hike now, and I'll check the connections again when I get back.
Best to you all, and thanks again:)!
