C05Fault

Felicity battery error C05

Charge overcurrent

Faultthe battery enters fault protection and stops normal operation until the fault is cleared — how it is shown (LED pattern or display code) depends on the model.

The exact meaning depends on your model:

FLA12100

BatteryFault

Also applies to:FLA48200

What it means

Charge overcurrent

Cause: The charging current reached the BMS trigger value and stayed there for 15 seconds, activating charge overcurrent protection: the charger or inverter is pushing more current than the pack accepts. The battery disables both charging input and discharging output while in fault mode.

How to fix it

  1. Restart the unit.
  2. If the error persists, contact the repair center.

FLA48250

BatteryCritical

What it means

Charge overcurrentCharging current exceeds the BMS protection limit.

Cause: The charging current reached the BMS trigger value and stayed there for 15 seconds, activating charge overcurrent protection: the charger or inverter is pushing more current than the pack accepts. The battery disables both charging input and discharging output while in fault mode.

How to fix it

  1. Restart the unit.
  2. If the error persists, contact the repair center.

FLA48250-EU

BatteryFault

What it means

C05Charge overcurrent.

Cause: The charging current reached the BMS trigger value and stayed there for 15 seconds, activating charge overcurrent protection: the charger or inverter is pushing more current than the pack accepts. The battery disables both charging input and discharging output while in fault mode.

How to fix it

  1. Restart the unit.
  2. If the error persists, contact the repair center.
  3. When the charging current reaches the trigger value and lasts for 15 seconds, charging overcurrent protection is activated, entering fault mode.
  4. The battery disables both charging input and discharging output.
  5. The fault is automatically cleared after 1 minute.
  6. After 10 occurrences, the fault can no longer clear automatically, requiring a manual battery restart.

FLA48500

BatteryFault

Also applies to:HE-GF-FLA-48500

What it means

Charge overcurrentCharging current exceeded the allowable limit.

Cause: Charge current above recommended (≤200A continuous, 300A 15s peak).

How to fix it

  1. Restart the unit.
  2. If the error persists, contact the repair center.

FLB48314TG1

BatteryFault

What it means

Charging Overcurrent ProtectionCharging current reached the trigger value and lasted for 15 seconds. Battery enters fault mode, disabling both charging input and discharging output.

Cause: Charging current stayed above the BMS trigger value for 15 seconds — usually because the charge-current setting on the inverter is higher than the battery's recommended value.

How to fix it

  1. Power down the inverter, wait 5 minutes for capacitors to discharge, then restart.
  2. If the fault recurs immediately or repeatedly, record the exact code and contact your installer or the manufacturer's service line.

FLS48100SG2

BatteryFault

What it means

Charge overcurrentCharge overcurrent. Charging current reached the trigger value for 15 seconds; charging overcurrent protection activated and the battery entered fault mode disabling both charge input and discharge output.

Cause: Charging current exceeded trigger value for 15 s. Inverter charge current setting may be too high.

How to fix it

  1. Fault auto-clears after 1 minute.
  2. After 10 occurrences, manual restart is required.
  3. Restart the unit; if the error persists, return to repair centre.
  4. Set inverter charge current to recommended value (60A x N, max 400A).

LPBF48100-M

BatteryFault

What it means

Battery charge overcurrentCharge over-current fault displayed on the LCD BMS fault code / flag screen (section 4.4).

Cause: Charge current exceeded the recommended limit. Per section 2.3 the recommended charge / discharge current is <=50 A and the Max Charge/Discharge Current (15 s) is 100 A; per section 2.4 Max. Charging Current is 50 A * N (N = number of packs in parallel).

How to fix it

  1. Restart the unit, if the error persists, contact the repair center.
  2. Reduce charge current at the charger / inverter to within 50 A per pack (section 2.4).

BatteryFault

Also applies to:LPBF48100-H

What it means

Battery charge overcurrentCharging current has exceeded the BMS protection limit.

Cause: Charging current above the maximum charge current rating (>120A on LPBF48200-H).

How to fix it

Restart the unit; if the error persists, contact the repair center.
