How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: This error typically affects scheduled charging but not basic safety functions.

  • Step 1 – Disable scheduling: Using the BougeRV app or front panel, disable any delayed start or schedule features and attempt immediate charging.
  • Step 2 – Reset time and date: Manually set the correct time and date in the charger or app. Save settings and reboot the charger.
  • Step 3 – Firmware update: Check for BougeRV firmware updates that address RTC or scheduling issues and apply them as directed.
  • Step 4 – Inspect RTC battery (if present): With power off and cover removed, locate any coin-cell battery on the main board. If voltage is low, replace with the same type, observing polarity.
  • Step 5 – Board replacement: If E13 persists and scheduling is required, the RTC circuit on the main control board may be defective and the board should be replaced.
