Posted February 22, 20205 yr after setting my axpert as per image [settings] about 4 hours ago there has been a cyclic process going on. it looks like this: every time the display on the axpert indicates a charge of say 50volts [it slowly increases] the utility charge stops and the load falls back on the batteries for a while until charging from utility resumes. this process loops every few minutes with a gradual increase in battery voltage over the last four hours [see images of display please]. the initial charge was one led and we are now on 4 leds - things are improving 🙂 i anticipate that by 2400, when eskom will cut electricity, the batteries will be nearly full and provide ample power for the outage. so i am not worried about that. my question is whether this is a 'settling in' pattern or something abnormal which i should address by changing of the settings. your feedback will be appreciated [i know the solution lies in changing the settings to 'victron' - but cut me some slack in the meantime :-)] axpert settings images of axpert display
February 23, 20205 yr You need a difference between settings 12 and 13; at least 1 volt, possibly 2, more if you want your battery really full ready for load shedding. Try 52 or 53 V for setting 13 ("back to battery" voltage setting).
February 23, 20205 yr Author you never really learn... after @Coulomb s help and a bit of tinkering the system stabilized just after sunrise with full batteries, these are the settings
