Re: Victron Solar controller's
Nope but it sounds like a PWM controller?

The only victron I have is still in the box back home Jon.
I was just wondering about the flickering LEDs.

Re: Victron Solar controller's
The flickering leds are caused by your old solar controller like Bruce indicated. (PWM) .... assuming it's flickering during the day time.
Re: Victron Solar controller's
It's not flickering now and it's still day light, and it doesn't do it all the time.
I was just curious

Yep 13.8v on my multi, about the same on the built-in gauge in the motorhome.

Thanks Bob.
Morning everyone.
Looks like we haven't caught the virus from Olivia's family, we should be showing symptoms by now. Daughter has RATs with her... incase...
Didn't do much yesterday...did go for a walk... which I will be doing again later.
Couldn't go swimming yesterday there was a "nippers" carnival on, hundreds of the little buggars

Re: Victron Solar controller's
Bernie, the flickering lights is your old PWM controller just
modulating. On/off etc. It probably will only do it when batt is full and input exceeds load. Our old Steca controller used to do the same thing. It would send the tv nuts when it was doing it.
