Daily charging phase at 32v for a 24v installation (ESS)

Hi,

Each days charge voltage of my 24v installation jump to 32v for hours. The limitation I put on ESS is 30v. I found nowhere explanation for this 32v period. I'm really scared of injuring my batteries. Thanks for your help.

Phil


ESS set to

- Color Control GX Firmware v2.94

- MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 Firmware 481

- Lynx Shunt 1000A VE.Can Firmware v1.08

- SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can 150/100 rev2 Firmware v3.13 VRM instance 0

- SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can 150/100 rev2 Firmware v3.13 VRM instance 1

Do not worry about the 32V since your PzS batteries can take it.


HOWEVER, it seems, you have set the EQUALIZATION to "every day" which I use too, but ONLY in the WINTER, because I never know, when the Battery become full in Estonia. In the SUMMER, I set it to "all 7 days" but this has a drawback, because the charger does not schedule, speak, if the 7 days are over and it can not equalize the batteries, it does not retry the 8th, 9th or whatever day.


So please check the EQUALIZING settings first, and maybe you want the decrease the voltage to 30,6V which mean 2,55V/cell which is more healthier.

Thank you for your prompt response. I had thought of equalization but the parameters are in "manual" mode. The problem is that at 32v I have a bubble formation in the batteries. After publishing this email I started the configuration again from the beginning. To avoid the 32v I had to put the DVCC off. With the DVCC off, the voltage remains within the set maximum limit of 30v but I'm not sure if the ESS can work without the DVCC ?

Have a nice evening,

Phil

By analyzing the logs I have just noticed that with DVCC ON the daily phases of 32v only appear on the days when the SOC has reached 100%. Never on other days. Another weird thing is that I don't have the ESS statuses that show up in the Color Control GX:
