I have a MPPT 100/20 SmartSolar controller. I am trying to get the equalization mode to last longer than 1 hour.
I have enabled expert mode, set the time to 8 hours and start an equalization but it gives me a note about 1 hour and only goes that long.
How do I get it to last for the time I specify? My battery manual calls for an 8 hour conditioning, not a 1 hour one.
I don't think you are interpreting battery manual correctly.
Please post a copy/link of your battery manual.
It looks like the controller will use the set time for an automatic equalization, but not a manual one. That seems a little silly so I emailed victron about it.
The Victron settings will probably not boil your battery dry....
This is a gentle bump.
There are lots of smart ppl on the Victron Communities..
Some will actually have a strong opinion biased on their experiences..
Boiling the battery dry really is not a concern for me with my battery type, the issue is more that expert mode is limited in it's operation when it shouldn't be.
Assuming boiling the battery dry was a concern, its more likely with how they have it setup now since I could could have the automatic enabled to occur for up to 14 hours a day every day, vs the manual mode would only be when manually started.
You still have not shared any details about your battery..
Would you like some advice? Perhaps not..
What does my battery have to do with the modes on the controller? You're way too concerned about the batteries and not looking at the issue I asked about.
You are creating an issue where one doesn't exist, and focusing on an aspect that isn't relevant to the original question.
I'd appreciate some advice and help, but on what I asked about not on a tangent.
