[QUOTE="binky, post: 520652, member: 490"] the battery shouldn't be discharging that low, but that can happen when there's so much dark overcast weather, as the battery draws a small level of charge to run itself so it drops below the minimum level of around 10%. Once it has done that it becomes a pain to get it going again, as it goes into trickle charge mode, which takes ages to get back above 10%. If you have the Solis app, then it should be possible to set the battery to charge from the mains by changing the 'work mode'. I forget what the modes are - give the manual a read. Not sure of it can be done via the app, but it should also be possible to set the minimum depth of discharge to a higher level like 15% to avoid any future issues. If this can't be done via the app, it would need to be manually inputted via the menus on the inverter, but you will need a password to do that, and I wouldn't touch that unless talking directly to the tech support team to guide you through the menus, or get your installer to do it. Not sure why it's registering it as battery coms fail, I've not had that problem - again I woud talk to the tech support guys. The system is suppossed to charge up the batteries occasionally from the grid, but I think that is only once a a week or month. Rebooting won't do anything any harm. [/QUOTE]
