Hey Jeff, yes the Victron SmartSolar 100/50 MPPT Solar Charge Controller # VN92VR that you referenced does have a LifePo battery setting you would need to use and the reason the app is displaying 0 in solar watts is because the battery is fully charged so the controller isn't feeding it anymore charge. Is your battery topped off that you are aware of?

no my batteries were completely dead ( i believe they have a low voltage cutoff built in). I had to connect to the grid to charge them. I have since found the lipo setting. good there, but I still cant get solar to charge batteries. thx

@JeffF if the batteries are super dead then that's why. It needs to sense a battery and if it's totally dead it doesn't think a battery is connected.

I can see solar voltage but no watts.
