Growatt Fault 04 fault: Battery voltage too low
Keep an eye on it
Urgency: medium
What it means
The battery is too flat for the inverter to keep running. Letting it recharge and cutting loads usually helps.
Likely causes
- Battery flat after a long outage
- Heavy loads on battery
What you can safely check
- Let the battery recharge from solar or the grid before using heavy appliances again.
- Switch off or unplug heavy appliances (kettle, heater, geyser, pool pump) on the backup circuits.
- If it keeps coming back, stop and call a qualified installer.
When to call a pro
If it doesn't clear on its own, happens often, or comes with burning smells, heat or noise, call a qualified installer.
Solar systems carry dangerous voltages. Only do the safe checks listed. If unsure, call a pro.
