First post so be kind, my 100/30 controller wont go off float.
Is there away to only have bulk and absorption...or is there a way to get it off float ?

victron controller stuck in float
Hi Bernie, it all depends on how you controller is configured. Could you take some screen shots using VictronConnect and also what sort of batteries do you have - lithium ??, voltage, capacity.
Thanks Sarah. I'm running two 250w 24v panels in series I have two 135ah lithium batteries in parallel new. Only connected two days ago The screen yesterday had 66.88v No current and showing a voltage of 13.63v and also no amps. state showing float. Not sure about the screen shot I'm on the computer not the phone.

This the best I can do...bit furry/blurry
Morning Sarah, This is what I have only difference is the Lithium batteries.. Plus I have to send this pic to myself to post it here...not the easies forum to work with. and I cant find the post section on my phone, Hench sending it to myself on the computer. Thereis still no solar coming in but it reads the volts ???
sorry about thy delay, I wasnt near the motorhome yesterday.
Bernie.
It is possible that your float voltage is slightly too high. Try changing the battery preset to lithium ion.
Also important to know what type of batteries you have just installed (internal/external BMS) and if there is a commissioning process involved to balance the cells.
I cant see anywhere to change the battery to lithium ion. or anything else.
I have it set on manual equalize at the moment to see if that changes things....its a pain having to come inside the house each time to send message... there is nowhere to send message on my phone, which bugs me no end.
Because of the distance to the house I have to go out to the motorhome just to see what's going on.
Thanks Sarah.

What a pain having to go out to the motorhome everytime. To change the battery type - In Victron Connect go the the battery settings page again, and where it says 'Battery preset' click on 'User defined', then click on 'Select preset', and scroll down to 'Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4)' and click on the radio button and click okay. The absorption voltage should change to 14.2 volts and the float voltage should now be 13.5 volts. Equalization charging will be disabled as this is only used for some lead acid batteries (this is a different proess to balancing the cell voltage for Lithium batteries). Speaking of batteries what brand/model of batteries are you using?
