Mapping Charge Stage numbers in log (1,2,3,4,5) to actual charge stage

[5 Minutes 2 Midnite]

I know I've found this before, but it ain't easy. How do the numeric numbers in the 'Charge Stage' of the logs (1,2,3,4,5) match to the actual charge state of the controller. Is it as simple as: 1-5 = Sleep, Bulk, Bulk MPPT, Absorb, Float?

Hi Five  Minutes..,

This will  not  address  your  question at  all,    but,   there is  really no "Bulk" stage,   it is  always  Bulk-MPPT.   There is a Resting state,    and  a Float-MPPT.

But,   regarding  Stage/state numbers  in Logs,   dunno.   Others will  know.      FWIW,  Vic

thanx Vic.

What I've been able to glean so far from looking at the logs and comparing to known states of charge reflected on the local app....

(Subject to change)

0: Resting
1: (there is no "1" in the logs of a 24hr cycle)
2: (there is no "2" in the logs of a 24hr cycle)
3: Absorb
4: Bulk MPPT
5: Float
6: Float MPPT


Resting seems to have some number of codes related to stage 0 that display on the local app but show as "0" in the log:
Shows as RESTING (1:Low Light). Nighttime
Shows as RESTING (38:Unknown). Showed momentarily after pack had reached FLOAT. Then went back to FLOAT.

Yes, BULK MPPT means that it is in the first stage and when it gets to the Absorb voltage, it just turns into
Absorb stage.

When/if  the battery voltage falls more than a couple or so tenths of a volt below the Absorb voltage again, before the timer or ending amps is satisfied, the stage goes back to BULK MPPT again and stops counting down until the voltage gets back up to Absorb again to repeat or finish the Absorb time.

I think your list is correct.   Stage numbers 1 and 2 are not used.  I can't remember why ?

It is missing EQ for equalize Also there is EQ MPPT, same as Bulk and Float MPPT when getting to the EQ voltage.

Here is my list of charge numbers that map to the display.

Excellent. Thank you boB.
