Battery Problems
Batteries are very dangerous. Please read
the safety information provided by the battery
supplier.
Battery does not charge properly
• Check that the battery charging requirements are
correctly set up in the SP PRO.
• Check that the solar regulator is correctly set up.
• Check all cables and connections to the batteries.
If the solar does not appear to be doing much the solar
regulator may be set too low. Check LEDs and DC History
in SP LINK.
If the battery is not operating correctly:
• Physically inspect the battery and check for loose
connections. Monitor the battery voltage as heavy
loads supplied by the SP PRO are turned on and off.
• Check the voltage on each battery making up the
battery bank to see if there are cells not fully charged
or not accepting charge. Measure voltages on each
cell/battery at different times in the charge discharge
cycle. Just after charge has started say after 10
minutes, in mid charge, just before end of charge, ten
minutes after discharge starts, mid discharge and just
before recharge starts.
