I thought as much.
Unfortunately, I didn't swap the batteries myself. Something has happened to the unit during the swap.
Thank you for all your advise. Much appreciated
I just took the unit for further inspection, and I was advised that the Mecer SOL-I-BB-M1 is not lithium-compatable.
By all accounts, that is not true, according to this thread.
I tried jumping this morning with the old battery. That did not work.
All that is happening is that when you plug in the mains, the 3 LED lights on the display flash for a second, and then you try pushing the On button with no response.
The unit was working perfectly prior to the battery...
The unit was working as expected. Just battery life was short to I opted to exchange for lithium.
I tried booting with secoundary battery but that did not work.
I can only assume something has happend during the installation of the new battery,
Thank you. I will use the old battery.
I checked the voltage of the new battery before installing and it was 13v. But once installed, and checking the voltage where the battery connects to the circuit board. I am only getting 8v with the Mains connected.
Let me give it a go. I was getting a very low voltage from the battery connections on the circuit board.
It does sound like an undervoltage battery ( I hope )
Thank you
New battery is:
GeeWiz 12100L 1.2kWh 12V 100Ah Lithium Ion LiFePO4
2.8V 1.2KWh
Rating: 1C
Maximum continuous discharge: 100Amp
Cells: 1st life prismatic LiFePO4
Old battery - not sure - but not lithium.
Can I use the old battery to boost or is that a bad idea?
I was getting 13v from the new battery before installation.
I will add the old battery to the external ports and see if that works. It was still working before I changed batteries.
Thank you
Hi
I have just installed a Lithium battery to the Mecer sol i bb m1.
The unit will now not power up even when the power supply is connected.
Does that mean the battery is under charged or is there something else I am misiing?
