5.2 Common Problems

Problem: 

No LED indications

Solution: 

With a multi-meter, check the voltage at the 

battery terminals on the SS-MPPT. Battery voltage must be 
at least 7V to power the SS-MPPT.

Problem: 

The SS-MPPT is not charging the battery.

Solution:

 If the Status LED is solid or 

 ashing red, 

see 

Section 5.1 Error Indications

. If the Status LED is off, 

measure the voltage across the Solar input terminals of 
the SS-MPPT. Input voltage must be greater than battery 
voltage. Check fuses and solar wiring connections. Check 
solar array for shading.
