Hi,
I use the smart charger to charge different batteries, to achieve this i code a program to manage the charger via VE.Direct HEX protocol.
When im not detecting current or the cahrger charger or status is in Storage mode i deactivate the charger via SoftSwitch.
The issue is when the Smart Charger is OFF via SoftSwitch or via Remote wire and doesnt have a battery plugged, the Smart Charger restarts itself continuously, i can observ this in the leds on the charger that blink all at once and in the VE.Direct comms i see an unresponsive behaviour, the HEX protocol commands doesnt get responded and text messages doesnt show in about 5 seconds.
I see other post with similar issue https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/36954/phoenix-smart-ip43-charger-constantly-restarting.html
Any idea of what happens?
Maybe the charger doesnt work well without a battery permanently conected?
