Hi Gary! Wondering if your Renogy is giving you the correct battery percentage readings? I set up a 24v system and mine consistently says it's at 100%, if the percentage says anything under 100%, my battery is basically empty. I've used the default settings as well as the user settings, config set to about the same as yours. Thanks in advance!
@@ESquaredSolutions My first inclination is to ask if you powered down the Rover completely after you switched to 24v. That included panels, batteries, everything and then turned it back on after you switched it to a 24-volt system? If you don't power completely down and restart, it will stick with a 12-volt settings and parameter.
@@tshafa9468 actually, ask if the parameters will still be set in the 12v range, but you multiply that number x2. You just have to make sure that you have your battery setting set to 24v, and then once so if your settings are complete, you need to completely power off the Rover and then power back on. Otherwise it won't recognize that the system voltage has been changed.
Thanks for the video, I am having a Battery over Voltage error on my Renogy that I am trying to discover why? I think it is because my solar panels are putting out more voltage than I am using, although I am not sure.
I've been having some issues with that myself, and not sure why as my system is so Renogy put together to their specs. As I learn more I will post about it. Meanwhile, how is your system configured?
I had the same problem with my new batteries. I just installed two new ADCBATT 12.8V 100AH batteries last weekend. I am using a Renogy Rover 40A MPPT charge controller. I went to the battery manufacturers website and found a new version of their manual. I set the equalize voltage to 14.0V. Boost and float voltages were set to 13.8V. This fixed the issue for my batteries. I would strongly recommend checking your battery manufacturers website for a manual. And use their recommended settings. Best of luck.
Same problem here, but according to the Victron it's never overcharged. I just got the smart shunt, still keeping the Victron for the history. Now the whole system is Renogy which is 4 175 watt flexible solar panels, 4 170ah, 2k inverter, 50amp dc/dc 60 & 40 rover, smart shunt, 400 watt solar blanket, and 200 watt folding solar panel. Almost 5 years running with 254 charge cycles. The most I get with full charge is around 530ah. I beat these bad boys up with my steam shower. The steamer takes about 100 amps to run.

For a 24 volt system do those numbers need to be in the 24 volt ranges?
