Hi Jesse

I've always found the tech support at Array tech to be really good
I'd call them.

So the battery voltage is always at 24V. The tracker will run fine for a couple days then it will get stuck in the east facing direction. I can make it track by switching the control box to "Manual Control Mode" and then moving the array in any direction for a second or two and then switching it back to "Automatic Control Mode". It will then track for a couple days and get stuck in the east direction again.
