C12Fault

Felicity battery error C12

Abnormal output impedance

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.

Severity differs by model — check your model below.

The exact meaning depends on your model:

FLA12100

BatteryFault

What it means

Abnormal output impedanceAbnormal output impedance fault. LED pattern: LED1 OFF, LED2 OFF, LED3 ON, LED4 ON.

Cause: The BMS measured abnormal impedance on the battery's output path, commonly a loose or corroded output terminal connection, or a contactor or wiring issue.

How to fix it

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