Hi all.
We have 2 solar panels, a 50w and an 80w feeding a 110a battery through an Oscar 380w/30a regulator.
All's been working fine for over a year.
The 80w panel and the regulator were on our previous MH,but with 2 x 110w batteries.
This morning the sun is particularly bright and my lie-in was disturbed by a loud buzzing noise from the regulator. The noise stopped when I switched on a couple of lights.
All is quiet at the moment, with tv and one 10w light on.
Battery monitor is showing between 12.50/12.60ish (fluctuating occasionally so presumably operating correctly?). Only 3 of the 4 leds (marked 10v/11v/12v/13v) are illuminated now.
Does anyone know definitely what the problem may be? I'm not sure how old the battery is. Wondering if it may be on its way out?
Thanks for any pointers!
