Hello,
In recent days, I frequently have the "Time in bulk" that abnormally exceeds 1440 minutes (24 hours) in a single day. Usually I record between 12 and 13 hours of bulk duration.
What could be the reason and how to fix it?
PS: I am in west Africa, I use a Multi RS Solar 48/6000/100 with the last update and I read the data by Bluetooth on my phone
I can understand that it could be exactly or less than 1440 minutes, equivalent to 24h00mn, only if the charge continues all the day.
But in my case, I read during nights 0 watt in solar panels power (0A and no more than 10V). In addition, I recorded three times 1443, 1444 and 1446 minutes of bulk duration a day.
Can it be, that the night is so bright, that the SolarCharger does not go into sleep?
Thank you for the answer. I can understand that it could be exactly or less than 1440 minutes, equivalent to 24h00mn, if the charge continues all the day.

Does the charge controller actually display "BULK" mode after sunset? Is the battery pack ever getting fully recharged?
