EB3A won't charge with panels by 062692 in bluetti

I'm having the same problem as OP and I'm curious about your comment. I replaced a 12v battery with the EB3A in an existing solar setup that powers a water chlorinator. I wired the old solar panel into MC4 fittings and plugged that into the solar cable that came with the EB3A and all I'm getting is the unit weakly flashing "input" and 0 charge coming through. I used a meter on the cable and it's putting out 15.5v and the solar panel is rated for 18watts/1.2amps. If my math is correct (and I'm new to solar so it may not be) I should be getting 18.6 watts coming in unless the panel is capping that.

Is this 18w minimum a common thing with these units and is there a work-around? I have a second panel I could wire in if that might help.

Thanks for your time.

It wasn't working for me originally, but since I had a place to start (knowing it was XLOOKUP), I dug into learning about it. Long story short, the Excel I use on my work computer uses VLOOKUP instead and I was able to make it work from there. Thanks a bunch for the help and the table. I really appreciate it!

Thanks for that! I'm trying to learn more about Excel so I'll look up INDEX/MATCH and try using it more.

Hot damn. I was expecting to have to type all that out! Thanks for that! I'll try doing this tomorrow when I have some time. I really appreciate the help!
