[RE-wrenches] Outback EQ not holding voltage

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

Does not sound right to me. Usually both Outback and Schneider protect
against uncontrolled EQ time and end EQ. 

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.

    Hi All,   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?    This system is 3-4 years old, and the
issue only started in the past year or so.   Cheers,  Dave
