I set the rebulk offset to 2.2 volts which should only restart a bulk when the battery reaches 25 volts.
But it keeps bulking every morning.
Most recent software.
Am i missing a setting that causes this?
With kind regards,

So the re-Bulk maybe applies only after the charger switched from Bulk to Absorption or from Bulk to Absorption and then Float in that day.

But why would you not want to charge the battery?
Hi @Marc Heide
I agree with Seb71. Guessing too, but the mppt knows it's a new day, and I'd expect it to start afresh.
Try using the 'Tail' setting, which will terminate/override Absorb phase earlier than the Fixed/Adaptive settings. For you, maybe set to 1.4A. It won't stay in Absorb long, and a short time won't hurt the battery.
From the manual.
Section 6.2, MPPT starts a new charge cycle daily. Rebulk offset will thus have no effect. New day is sunrise (and /or applying power to the MPPT after it's been disconnected, my experience).
Section 5.2.1 settings/p19 Rebulk offset - linked to float setting and actual battery voltage. It's used during the day when loads reduce battery voltage to trigger a new charge cycle.
Note that if the MPPT has not been charging for an hour, a new charge cycle will start as soon as it's able to charge again.
So working as designed.
Suggest you put the rebulk offset back to default, or you will have a seriously depleted, possibly damaged battery if there's a significant load.
