I have a pretty simple system (Smart Shunt, CerboGx) and recently replaced my old non-Victron charger with an IP-43 Smart to accommodate lithium batteries. Smart Shunt and IP-43 are connected to Cerbo with Ve.Direct cables.
- When the charger is charging, Cerbo shows a positive current on the battery and positive watts, but the current "flow" dots are moving to the DC Power box and not into the battery.
- When the charger is off, the battery shows a negative current and the flow continues moving to the DC Power box.
- If I unplug the Ve.Direct cable from the IP-43 and the charger is charging, the flow dots move toward the battery like I expect. The old charger showed the same as does my non-Victron solar controller.
What am I missing here?
