Multiplus 24/5000/120 keeps cycling on low battery

On overcast days my solar panels cannot charge victron batteries to 100%.. I use them until low battery warning light flashes and I then turn on AC mains power to try to charge the batteries, sometimes as low as 20vdc. It’s a 24vdc system.. the fan does not come on, and the unit cycles on and off every minute or so.. I thought the unit can charge at 120 amps ? It goes into BULK charge for a minute or so and then low battery and overload leds illuminate, and then shuts down for 20 seconds and reboots and does the whole pattern again..

You are killing your battery by discharging down to 20V.

I does not matter whether it is LFP or LA battery.
