How to Interpret MPPT Data in VictronConnect

Hello,

I'm using an Victron Controller Charger MPPT 75|10 and I'm exploring the product.

Instead of connecting the Bluesolar to an Solar Panel, I'm connecting to a DC source of 24V. I've limited the charging current to 1A. The battery is charging, but I ca't make sense about the readings I'm getting.

I turned off the Load Outpu, so I was expecting to see same value of current provided by the source (Solar) in the Battery. However what I'm actually seeing is hard to explain, the current that is being supplied to the battery is actually far more superior then what is being provided by the solar.


Can someone make sense of this dark magic ? :)

Hi @HenriqueM

No dark magic. The Watts (real power) is much the same, give-or-take the decimal inaccuracy and a little inefficiency loss. W = V x A.

So halve the V, double the A..
