    Why is the battery frame and fault icon blinking on my PowerTech MP3768?
    • A
      Alex JonesAug 18, 2025
      The blinking battery frame and fault icon on your PowerTech Controller indicates a battery issue. This could be due to several reasons: * **Battery over voltage:** Check if the battery voltage is higher than the OVD (over voltage disconnect voltage) and disconnect the PV array connection. * **Battery over discharged:** The load will recover when the battery voltage is restored to or above LVR (low voltage reconnect voltage). * **Battery over heating:** The controller will resume work when the battery temperature declines to 55°C or below.

    How to fix PowerTech MP3768 Controller charging LED when it is off during daytime?
    • R
      Robert AdamsAug 29, 2025
      If the charging LED on your PowerTech Controller is off during the day with sufficient sunshine on the PV array, it might be due to a PV array open-circuit. Confirm that the connection of the PV array is correct and tight.
