Battery stops at 81% carge

Featured Replies

Hi , 

I have a 5kW office back up system without solar.

5 kW Hubble battery

5kW Luxpower inverter

Everything works well and the battery recharges quickly after loadshedding at about 1000watt and then stops charging at 81%.

What are the possibilities.?

I will appreciate any comments.

Where did you configure your battery? It says 150Ah capacity at the bottom of the screen, while it should be 110Ah for Hubble AM-2.

Which model Hubble battery do you have? Do you have a communication cable between the battery and inverter? Is the inverter set up to use the battery comms or is it set in a user mode with the charge voltages set manually? What are your charge voltages and currents set to? It could be that 52.5V is too low to fully charge the battery.

Can you share any charts showing battery voltage and battery current as well as SOC over time?

No comm cable between the two.

Your charge voltage seems fine, but your float is too high and shouldn't ever be higher than the charge voltage, set that to 52.6V. You should probably also change the "AC Charge End Battery Voltage" to 53.6V.

As @Kilowatt Power says, you can't get an accurate SOC from the voltage, so if you are getting that 81% from the inverter without comms then it is probably incorrect. The only way to truly know if your battery is charging to 100% is with comms to the inverter or a PC.

Technically not correct, if the inverter holds the voltage at bulk charge level and the battery stops taking any extra current, then the inverter knows the battery is fully charged.
