Thank you:)
So I have 2 panels, each 100w.
One 40amp controller, one 140amp deap circle battery.
One 12v refrigerator, few LED lamps.
What is CC?
And can you say if the light of the battery is blinking and I have E1 error, is it over charge, Or discharged?
What more information can I provide to help you help me.

First off CC is the charge controller.... You have the same 40a CC that I started with and it worked great. Well if it's a rover that is..... Do you have a Tracer Meter MT-1? What are you checking your readings with?
Like the Admin/Renogy said the E1 code is low voltage...... What is your battery showing voltage with a voltmeter? What is the highest and lowest voltage you have seen?

Now I have 11v. The highest I had was 12.8v But in the last day something changed, I have now E3 error. 3 lights are on, battery, load, and the system error. What can I learn from this? Thank you |

The best thing I can tell you to do is STOP killing your battery..............
Your using way more power than your making.......... You need more panels and a bigger or more batteries.........
At least now I know what your problem is...............

What can I learn from this? Thank you By the way do you happen to have a killawatt meter? If not you really need to get one because that will tell you how much power you are using.........
After thinking about it that won't be of any help as your using 12v appliances...........
What are you thinking now about the size of your system, and is it making sense now why your getting error codes? ?

Stop killing your battery.......... You should NEVER let your battery get below 11.8v for very long.......... I don't like mine getting below 12v at all.........
What I would suggest you do if you can is take ALL of your load off of your system and see if your battery will come back or if you need to buy a new battery....
Let me know if that makes sense to you?

Tatto, thanks for the chart.
I will let now charge more and not use it until I see the correct voltage.
Do you have a chart for system errors?
Appreciate your help.

Your getting there.....
