<p>Does not sound right to me. Usually both Outback and Schneider protect against uncontrolled EQ time and end EQ.</p>
<p>I think I would remove the network after the battery is full and test one controller at a time. Might have been damaged by lightning or gen glitching. Since you say it does this from the inverter charger on genset (only no fm80's) is even weirder. Eliminate the network.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div> </div>
<div>I've got an outback system (Radian 8048A, 2 FM80, 16 Trojan L16RE-B) where when the customer equalizes, the batteries hover right around the EQ voltage, but will often dip to 0.1v less. Because of this, the EQ timer does not count down properly, and so left to its own devices the system would equalize for way longer than it should, potentially forever. This will happen when doing an EQ from the solar on a bright sunny day, or the generator, or both. The customer can manually keep track of the time and manually stop the EQ after 3 hours, but that is not ideal. Has anyone dealt with this before and have any suggestions on how they fixed it? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This system is 3-4 years old, and the issue only started in the past year or so.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers, </div>
<div>Dave</div>
