OP - I would reach out to MasterVolt directly. They have been in the marine power business for a long time and may have resources near you that can assist you.

This is a data buss controlled system that may require specialist knowledge and tools like a data buss reader to properly troubleshoot.

Like most Lithium systems, it is not a simple alternator/voltage regulator/battery system like you would find in a normal vehicle.

We live our Tellaro 20AT and wish you only the best in getting this resolved.

OP. - I would reach out to MasterVolt directly if you have not already done so. They have been in the marine power business for a long time and will have tech resources in Florida.

This is a data buss operated system so it may require specialized knowledge and tools like a data buss reader to properly troubleshoot.

We love our Tellaro 20AT and wish you all the best in getting this issue resolved in a timely fashion.

Have you called mastervolt? Sounds like perhaps something was not installed right which can happen. Something as simple as a bad ground because of a bad crimp can totally cause the weirdest issues. Not saying that’s your problem.

But mastervolt should know more than anyone what the issue might be.

Howdy, New to the Forum and a new Tellaro 20AT with the Mastervolt system owner. I messaged the OP privately, but in case he doesn't see that and / or only gets a notification about new comments on posts here is a shot in the dark.

There are 2 yellow battery disconnect switches under the passenger side running board near the rear wheel. If those are not in the "remote" setting, the batteries are effectively dead weight and not connected to the invertor. Good luck.

If these fancy high-capacity lithium systems were the same as a flooded- or AGM-based motorhome, it wouldn’t have taken years to get to where we are today with the technology, or a couple of years for Thor to try to catch up with Volta and Xantrex systems, or Roadtrek’s EcoTrek before that. The average “technician” may not have a clue what he’s dealing with. And all of these previous systems had plenty of early design and quality issues of their own.



In my opinion the thing that’s getting out of control is the sentiment that RV owners are somehow responsible to fix problems themselves, or worse yet that they should understand what’s causing the problem in the first place. That may work for a few hands-on owners, but will never be the norm. Not in today’s world.

If an air conditioner doesn’t cool enough, should a home or RV owner know why it’s not cooling more? It may help but that knowledge shouldn’t be necessary to own an air conditioner. You call a qualified A/C contractor or repair person and let them figure out what’s wrong. That may not be ideal from a cost standpoint, but it’s reality for most people today.

The one thing most of us expect is that the A/C “expert” can figure out what’s wrong on his own.


In this case I feel for the OP. If the problem was that simple to fix, or was operator error, why didn’t first tech find it and fix it? And if it’s more complicated than “very simple to fix”, why should the owner be expected to diagnose it himself?
Honestly it sound like everyone faces the same bs no matter what (as a PROFESSIONAL Truck driver I have to diagnose exactly what the problem is every time if i leave it open and just say it's not cooling they will simple charge the unit not check for a the problem.... every one tends to be robots and only do what they are told anymore... and never look into problems and why something is not working lol.. and well by not doing it right the first time allows most to do it again till the find they problem while charging you for all that labor...

So, not sure if your problem is the same but, right now the Balmar SG 200 (gives you all the info on your batteries) doesnt work in my 2022 Tellaro 20L. The voltage regulator is not working also. So this means the only way to camp is plugged in, the batteries will not charge via the alternator or solar. I actually went to Balmar in Marysville and they looked at it. The SG 200 screen is broke and needs to be replaced. The voltage regulator that wasn't working was pointed out to me by the guy at Balmar. The dealership is certain that it can be fixed and after talking to the GM they're going to pick it up and work the problem.

Anybody else have issues with the Balmar Smartlink Monitor

I just got to an RV Campground today and my Balmar monitor is not working. It’s displaying the following message: “No service available for the selected device”. I’m not sure what to do. I’m currently on shore power so I believe I’ll be fine for the night. Anyone can help me figure this out??
Thanks

You might want to post this under a new heading and it will probably get attention

I was traveling to Hot Springs Arkansas last week in my new Tellaro 20L with the 200 AH Reliable Battery System. It was kind of a hot day so I left the AC (20 amps) running for my dog Charlie while we went to the Springs and out to dinner it might have been running the whole time about 3 hours. When we got back the system had shutdown after using about 60AH total. It indicated that the system was fully charged when I parked. I know I read somewhere that it will shutoff entirely if it drops below a certain percentage, I think 25% or 50% to preserve the Lithium packs. The 200 AH Reliable Lithium System is a smaller battery option (Opposed to Thors Normal 800 AH Lithium package). Most of the other equipment is the same. They had to start to include the option at no additional cost (instead of $25,000 upgrade) because of supply chain shortages on Onan Generators, so I can't complain. You do get some benefit off of the solar panel but not enough recharge more than small computer, lights, and refrigerator use. The big AMP eater is the AC and than probably the microwave when you are using it. It is nice to not have to run a noisy generator when you go into a Crackerbarrel for a meal with your pet in the car or to just pull over and grab a 1-2 hour nap on a long trip. If you drive the Balamar generator will recharge the entire system in like 15 minutes or you could idle the engine for 15 minutes if you were dry camping. Bottom line is about 3 hours off 200 Lithium AH if running the AC.

We had a frustrating problem with the Mastervolt. Would not invert or let 120vac in from shore power.
Last thing I did was to check the resettable fuse (OK) and then turned it off then on IT WORKED! That small switch is just below the fuse. Hard to get to through all the wiring.
