Why Victron energy MPPT 100/20 charger does not function?
The Victron Energy Controller charger might not be functioning due to a reversed PV connection. In this case, connect the PV correctly. Another cause may be that no fuse is inserted; make sure to insert a 20A fuse.
What to do if the Victron Energy Controller battery is not fully charged?
If the Victron Energy Controller battery isn't fully charged, check the battery connection, as a bad connection can be the cause. High cable losses can also prevent a full charge, so use cables with a larger cross-section. Ensure that ambient conditions are equal for charger and battery because a large ambient temperature difference between charger and battery can affect charging. Finally, if you have a 24V system, make sure that the charge controller is set to the required system voltage (24V instead of 12V).
What to do if the Victron energy MPPT 100/20 Controller battery is being overcharged?
If the Victron Energy Controller battery is being overcharged, it could be due to a defect in one of the battery cells; if this is the case, replace the battery. Another possible cause is a large ambient temperature difference between charger and battery. To solve this, make sure that ambient conditions are equal for charger and battery.
What causes a blown fuse in Victron energy MPPT 100/20?
A blown fuse in the Victron Energy Controller is often caused by a reversed battery connection. To solve this, connect the battery correctly and replace the fuse.
How to fix Victron energy MPPT 100/20 load output not becoming active?
If the load output on your Victron Energy Controller isn't activating, it might be due to exceeding the maximum current limit. Ensure the output current doesn't exceed 15A. Another reason might be using a DC load in combination with a capacitive load (like an inverter). Disconnect the DC load during the start-up of the capacitive load. Check the load connection for a short-circuit.
