00Fault
DischgOverCur

Battery discharge over-current (the load drawn from the battery is too high).

What you can do

  • Note the code and the battery state of charge shown in the app
  • Let the system run - some battery voltage protections clear by themselves after charging or discharging
  • If the alarm stays or keeps returning, call your installer - don't open or disconnect the battery yourself
