My Multiplus inverts ok, but will not charge from either shore power or from the generator. I know the multiplus is OK, so what other things should I have checked?
Does the battery need a charge? Or is it at its target voltage?
Input current limit? Can it cover loads and charge as well.
Is the internal charger enabled and configured in programming?
Hi Alexandra. Batteries very much need a charge when I start the generator. Sorry, I don't know the settings in the unit, but it worked last year, so assuming the settings are OK. I am wondering what things outside the Multiplus could give this issue. We've already checked that input from the generator is within the spec limits of 95-140V, 45-65 Hz. Is there anything else downstream of the Multiplus which could cause the problem?
More likely upstream if the unit is inverting. Fuse/breaker on the input.
Have you checked for AC at the input connection?
Do you hear the inverter humming to connect and any clicking?
