Smart Solar MPPT 100/50 stops charging


So, my Smart Solar MPPT 100-50 just randomly stops charging quite regularly, and I’m running out of ideas as to what is causing this.

Both of the following screen shots were taken today. The first one at around 13:54 shows everything working as expected and the system charging as it should.

Then at some stage during the course of the afternoon, it just stops. I should have taken a screen shot as soon as it happened, but it stayed that way for the rest of the day and evening. See the second screen shot at 19:48.

Even at 19:48 it was still bright and sunny With plenty of volts being generated by The solar pannels.

The batteries are 2x 12v 200ah LiTime Lifepo4 wired in parallel. When the first picture was taken the battery was at around 58% charge and it did not go above 60% charge before it stopped.

Can anyone shed any light on why this might be happening?

For the most part I’ve kept the standard Victron presets for a smart LifePo4 battery, although obviously I’ve been trying various different settings to try and remedy the situation.

@Simon Dee Battery voltage drops to 0.00v every day. Looks like a wiring/fuse problem between the mppt and battery.

You are using smart networking, what other devices do you have.?
