The EasySolar goes to Sustain Mode. At 4:00 in the morning a bigger Load switches on (washing machine). The reason for Sustain Mode is the Battery Voltage? Best regards Thomas

Sustain, which Victron call absorption, is the fixed voltage part of a three or four phase charge cycle. Once voltage hits 14.4, AGM batteries are about 80% charged. Constant voltage completes the charge and current drops as it completes. Then the battery is held at a lower voltage, called float - charged, ready for action.
In ESS, sustain is triggered when the battery dips beneath the dynamic cutoff voltages.
