Electrickery problem
Posted: Sat Jun 29, 2019 5:01 pm
Guys.
I fitted a Victron 15 A smart charger to my Xplorer caravan. I have disconnected the original Hercules 20 panel's battery charger. Thus the Victron is connected to the batteries but the 12v Hercules panel circuit still runs all the 12v lights etc.
There are 4 x LED lights. These now flicker consistently. If I switch off the 220V supply to isolate the charger the flickering stops.
If I then switch the 220v on again the lights are bright and no flickering. Soon after they start again.
As the charger has a bluetooth app that allows me to monitor the charge phase I deduce the flickering is related to the float stage in the charge process.
By switching the charger off and on the charge program resets and charges full 14.4v thus bright and non flickering lights.
Any ideas how to solve???
Thanks
