Hi There,
I am reaching out to the crowd and to Victron's team here.
I am reaching out because I noticed that my Orion TR Smart 12/12 30A Non Isolated tends to put itself in Absorption mode even though the battery is charged to more or less 50%. Because of this, I struggle charging my battery to more than 70-75%. Not only, this should not happen, but I really need those additional 30%.
I have the following installation:
- Orion TR Smart 12/12 30A Non Isolated
- BMV 712
- Victron Lithium LifePo4 160A
Until I had the BMV 712, the charger was almost never in absorption mode and struggled to charge the battery fully.
Then I purchased the BMV 712 to better understand the state of my battery. It does the job well after setting it up properly.
Then my set-up started working properly, charging in Bulk and then Absoprtion and then Float, as it should.
However, for some time now, about 2 weeks I'd say. The Charger started charging in Absorption mode, almost right after the engine starts and even when the battery level requires bulk charging.
I know that this is a problem known to Victron as I saw other similar posts on the topic.
But I am still wondering if a solution was found or if anyone would know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for your support.
Below are some of the screenshots from the Victron app.
