In bulk it would charge just fine, but when in float — it would let the battery discharge to ~13V before re-entering bulk charging. That is far too low for a camper solar setup.</p> <p>I found an <a href="https://diysolarforum.com/threads/struggling-with-basic-lifepo4-settings-in-epever-tracer.17785/">online discussion regarding the EPEVER Tracer</a> that explained the behavior. The settings are not well optimized for a solar system on a camper, where you want to utilize the sun as much as possible.</p>
