MPPT 100/20 ePropulsion e80 settings

Hi Brainstrust,

I'm setting up MPPT 100/20 solar charging for an e80 ePropulsion battery on a trimaran (running the Navy 3.0 only) and have been advised by ePropulsion that:

Is there a setting for controlling charge cut-off if the solar drops below 1A?

I can't see one in the manual although it may be called something I don't recognize.

thanks

Hi, I didn't get any feedback to that initial question and I have had issues with charging. The solar charging will work OK if getting good power however if left overnight it seems to confuse the BMS and I've had a few fault conditions as a result. fixed only with a solid 240v charge. I now only charge in full sunlight and disconnect at other times. pretty annoying. Maybe a 1A cutoff would fix the issue.
