WHY DOESTHEVOLTAGE RISE VERY QUICKLY CAUSINGTHE CHARGERTO SHUT OFF WHEN I BEGINTO CHARGE MY BATTERY BANK? This is often an indication of sulphated batteries which can be confirmed by completing a load test • An increase in Absorption time may be necessary to sufficiently charge the battery to full SOC. WHY DOESTHE BATTERY BANK NOT REACHTHE BULK VOLTAGE SETTING WHEN CHARGING? If the system is not reaching the Bulk voltage, the charger voltage and/or Amp output to the battery bank may be too low.
