BLUF - Quick Charge setting only makes two changes. Enable AC Charge and Adjust Time of Charge. It does not edit the Start or Stop VOL/SOC. Your Start setting must be higher then you batteries current SOC.

That seems wrong and makes no sense. I would assume that quick charge would simply charge no matter what your SOC is. Example, wicked storm coming in. Shouldn’t have to change min/max SOC charge settings to get it to work.
I suggested an update to the setting. Something like...QC override SOC or possibly increase start and Stop SOC to max.
100% agree. You figure if the battery has to be below the SOC or Voltage for it to work, then it should be charging anyhow stopping at the value that you defined for 'Stop AC Charge' SOC / Volt
I was having all kinds of issues in my testing as well and even got into a scenario where it wouldn't stop charging.
@@theadventuresofarenaissancman I did as well. Can't remember if it was in one of the threads or in a msg to Markus. I should also send you some of the unexpected scenarios that I ran into, to see if you can reproduce them.
Hello again I finally got a 240v inverter generator and connected it to the 4 prong twist lock inlet I had wired to the gen input on my 18kpv but when I turn it on and connect it the voltage shows 250v and 60 htz on the screen but 0 watts 🤔
Join the Signature Solar Facebook Group. It's easier to diagnose issues on a forum or group.
@theadventuresofarenaissancman okay just did but not sure how to use it to resolve my issue lol this is my 1st time on Facebook in over 5 years
Do lights flash/dim when you add motor loads like hair dryer, fans... with this inverter? Thanks
The only time, that I notice a slight LED dim (for a split second) is when the clothes dryers 5,500 watt heating element turns on.
I don't use a hair dryer, but I use a 1,400 watt toaster oven. No noticeable dim when the heating element turns on and off.
I will add that I just installed a beta firmware (last night) that seems to improve the high load dimming. It now appears to be on par with two parallel 6000xp’s. (Placebo Effect?) I'll keep an eye on this over the next couple of weeks.
Seems like these should be preset at 90% start 95% stop 🤔
I'm not sure I learned anything more after watching this video, still very confused heh.
You're not alone. The quick charge should be simple and easy to use but unfortunately it's not.
