<div dir="ltr">The Bulk setting is 55.2V, the battery voltage is
around 53. Generator quality is good, tried with two different
generators, same result. These batteries can soak up current
without the voltage changing much, great charge acceptance. The
BMS is reporting ~40% SOC. The Outbacks just stay in "pass
through" mode as though they think the batteries don't need it.
They don't respond when I tell them to bulk charge.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Wrenches,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've got an issue that I'm remotely trying to
troubleshoot but I must be missing something.</div>
<div>Specs:</div>
<div>Off-grid</div>
<div>Dual Outback FXR 3648s recently installed</div>
<div>FM100, with about 4k of solar</div>
<div>2 x 16 kWh Blue Ion Batteries, installed this past
week</div>
<div>Kohler 14 generator</div>
<div>Outback Mate 3s</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The issue is that the FXR inverters aren't charging
the batteries when the generator is running, they are
just passing the power through to the loads. I have
verified that AC Input is in "Use" not "Drop" when
generator is running, I have disabled all of the
advanced charging (ie Global charge, float
coordination, auto-charge termination and auto
grid-tie control) . I have told it to "start bulk"
both remotely and through the owner on site. I have
done a reboot multiple times of the whole system as
well as the Mate 3s. I even had the owner try a
factory reset and firmware update on the Mate 3s. The
firmware was successfully updated and it appears the
factory reset on the mate.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Nothing has changed how it behaves with the
generator, generator just follows the load and no AC
charging takes place. Oddly, this was working fine
when we left, we had topped the batteries off with the
generator.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any ideas what I might be missing?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your suggestions</div>
