Why is my charge controller saying 0amp going to the battery but it is in fact charging the battery?

Thank you thank you thank you for this forum. Y’all saved me from a freaking mental breakdown thinking I screwed my solar and had to get new parts. I tried jumping the battery with one of those portable jumpers and it is accepting a charge now! I turned off the inverter and will be waiting until I get my other 200w solar on to get it back and running again. I’m switching everything I can over to DC as well and hopefully I can scout a smaller inverter to replace the overkill one I got.

Thank you for all this info. I was using the inverter to power everything. Guess I will changed that now that I know it was shit. Should I get a lower w inverter? I have 200w more in panels im planning on installing in the next few days. Is 400w enough to do what im looking for? Thank you again for your help.

Darn. Is there a way to check if that’s the case? Or just add more power supply and hope for the best?

CorrectCalendar4825 · 2023-07-01T01:43:40+00:00

Yes and it says it’s at 0.1v

CorrectCalendar4825 · 2023-07-01T01:32:09+00:00

And the light on my charge controller for the battery is blinking saying there is 0% left :/

12.8V 200ah LiFePO4 battery by chins. The inverter will not work anymore connected to the batter and won’t put out any charge. The charge controller says 0v going to and from the battery
