Hello,
I just checked my Victron app and notice the odd day in the History not showing any activity...is this normal?
Thank you

    Eleven days ago did you happen to be on shore power which fully charged your battery? Your solar panel was obviously still functioning but the battery looks topped up at 14.3V, hence no recorded solar charge history.

    @Bill&Suze is correct: your panels do show activity, just no yield. And that's because there was nowhere for that voltage to flow since your batteries were already topped off.

    I have a similar situation....but my batteries are not fully charged.  My camper is positioned so I don't get a lot of direct sunlight, but I do get some, as you can see by the history.  The last few days I haven't charged at all.  I'm thinking it's the voltage setting...but not sure.  Any thoughts?

    @Basil48192 Without knowing what exact battery type you have, this is impossible to answer.  It "appears" to be a lithium battery, based on today's reading of 14.19.  Which is probably very close to your Smart Solar setting for "Charged Voltage".  A lithium battery reaching "full charge" does not stay "locked" to that setting, since the "Float Voltage" is where the battery will settle after reaching the Charged Voltage.  So, have a look at your Victron controller settings pages

    @pthomas745.  Thank you for your help.  I do have lithium (2, 100 AH) batteries.  I think (after a little research) that the controller is shutting off because (for most of the day) the incoming PV voltage is less than 5VDC than the battery charge.  I'm still not sure about it, because my 200W suitcase panel was charging fine (with a separate Victron controller).

    Just a follow up..took a recent trip and Victron showed full charging on the history...my guess is that a day may be missed in the History when battery is full...thanks for the help.
