@@SolarBearDIY As an update, I have a 60 amp Rover and 12.8v 100amp Power Queen Batteries. Some of the Power Queen provided parameter terms were different. I called Renogy tech support. They were very helpful and easily translated the Power Queen parameter terms to the matching Renogy parameter terms used in the "use" mode for Renogy Rover setup. I have a 24v system and was informed to input the 12v levels provided by Power Queen when setting up the Rover and it would multiply those to the correct levels for my 24v system, as long as I identified my system as 24v in the initial setup screen.
@@roosterprice yeah that sounds about right, the numerical values in the Rover always reflect 12v parameters. So when you are set up in 24v configuration all of those values are multiplied x2, and for 48v systems all the values are multiplied by x4. Just remember that when you switch to a different system voltage, you have to totally disconnect the controller from the batteries and the panels in order for the changes to take affect.
@@tshafa9468 actually, ask if the parameters will still be set in the 12v range, but you multiply that number x2. You just have to make sure that you have your battery setting set to 24v, and then once so if your settings are complete, you need to completely power off the Rover and then power back on. Otherwise it won't recognize that the system voltage has been changed.
Thanks for the video, I am having a Battery over Voltage error on my Renogy that I am trying to discover why? I think it is because my solar panels are putting out more voltage than I am using, although I am not sure.
I've been having some issues with that myself, and not sure why as my system is so Renogy put together to their specs. As I learn more I will post about it. Meanwhile, how is your system configured?
I had the same problem with my new batteries. I just installed two new ADCBATT 12.8V 100AH batteries last weekend. I am using a Renogy Rover 40A MPPT charge controller. I went to the battery manufacturers website and found a new version of their manual. I set the equalize voltage to 14.0V. Boost and float voltages were set to 13.8V. This fixed the issue for my batteries. I would strongly recommend checking your battery manufacturers website for a manual. And use their recommended settings. Best of luck.
Same problem here, but according to the Victron it's never overcharged. I just got the smart shunt, still keeping the Victron for the history. Now the whole system is Renogy which is 4 175 watt flexible solar panels, 4 170ah, 2k inverter, 50amp dc/dc 60 & 40 rover, smart shunt, 400 watt solar blanket, and 200 watt folding solar panel. Almost 5 years running with 254 charge cycles. The most I get with full charge is around 530ah. I beat these bad boys up with my steam shower. The steamer takes about 100 amps to run.
Hi Gary! Wondering if your Renogy is giving you the correct battery percentage readings? I set up a 24v system and mine consistently says it's at 100%, if the percentage says anything under 100%, my battery is basically empty. I've used the default settings as well as the user settings, config set to about the same as yours. Thanks in advance!
@@ESquaredSolutions My first inclination is to ask if you powered down the Rover completely after you switched to 24v. That included panels, batteries, everything and then turned it back on after you switched it to a 24-volt system? If you don't power completely down and restart, it will stick with a 12-volt settings and parameter.
Very good thanks for the help
Well done!
@@roosterprice thanks

For a 24 volt system do those numbers need to be in the 24 volt ranges?

So the percentage on the controller isn’t correct since your 36% is actually 70% right?
@@rapidtopper the controller SOC is always inaccurate, the shunt is reliable when calibrated properly.
