    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    Is that a setting in the inverter? What is infl? Thanks

    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    I don’t know how to get individual SOC for the 4 batteries. I torqued all wire connections. Here are the latest screenshot from all devices connected to the VE Smart Network. I will buy a CerboGX when I get home. Clearly the SOC associated with the Inverter is dropping faster than everywhere else.

    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    I can see the 4-170ah battery voltage and they are all the same I just ran through all devices on the VE Smart Network and all of the settings are the same on all devices.

    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    VE Smart Networking. The inverter was not connected to the other components. 13.4v is as high as it will maintain once charging is halted. I can push the upper limit higher in the program but it will never get there and then immediately shows a lower SOC.

    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    Ok so back at it. Batteries fully charged Voltage and SOC on inverter are the same now. I found the inverter was not part of the network so I added that, hoping maybe the shared data will help. I was able to connect laptop to the Inverter and verify all settings. Nothing out of wack. 680AH...

    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    Been trying to get laptop connected but I am not seeing communications. Inverter is not easy to access so it will be a larger project to get to the comm port. I pulled and shook all wires and did not feel any movement. Batteries are 13.5v at full charge. Charging rate is 14.4v I believe. So...

    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    Yes I checked voltage at inverter and it’s 13.3v There was a 120v load running when it shutdown. Once it was just the fridge and once it was a small heater. Both well within the 3000watt inverter capacity. When I got up SOC was 80%+ and it decreased with the loads I described until it shut...

    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    No cerboGX Wire is 4/0 The inverter is reading the correct voltage, 13.3v, it’s just showing it as a Low Voltage and shutting down. I just checked all the wire connections between the Inverter, Smart Shunt and Lynx and they are solid. I need to get laptop attached and check all inverter settings.

    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    Battery Voltage is 13.3v. Smart Shunt shows 80%SOC Inverter is showing 13.3v and 17%SOC I do not have a readout for SOC Floor from the inverter on my phone so I’ll need to connect laptop and review settings. Thanks for the input.

    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    I just ran the generator, early here for solar, to get the batteries back to 80%. Inverter won’t go on a says Low Battery.. this is a screenshot of the VE bus Smart for the inverter. It shows 17%SOC. Is there another battery setup in the inverter that could be set with the wrong battery...

    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    The wiring is all new, sized properly and in good shape. I don’t know about the closed loop reference. I believe the charger absorption voltage is 14.4v per battery mfg. System has been in place for three years but this shutdown has now happened twice in the last two weeks.

    Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    680ah LifePo4 Victron 2x120 pass through inveter 1140w solar My inverter has been shutting down due to “Low Battery.” However the SOC is at 73% and the discharge floor is at 20%. Here’s are some screen shots of my settings. Ideas?

    Victron State of Charge

    Managed a crappy photo of my setup. Rope is a pull string coiled up that I ran inside the R.V. for future use. Going to add Cerbo and Touch this fall. Thanks again for all the help.

    Victron State of Charge

    Totally makes sense. Can I just move the solar charger ground to the inverter side of shunt. I could make that happen pretty easily. Otherwise I’d have to wait until I get home in a month. Currently boondocking at the Rincon Parkway in Ventura, CA.

    Victron State of Charge

    Thanks Pretty sure the batteries and solar charger all connect to Lynx directly. Shunt on Lynx ground lug to inverter. I need a bus for the 4 batteries so the Lynx works well. How should I connect the solar input to the batteries? Do I need a second Lynx with the shunt in between them? Makes...

    Victron State of Charge

    Not a new installation and this has never seemed to work properly. All the items connect to a Lynx bus setup. The Smart Shunt is the only thing from the Lynx ground to the inverter.

    Victron State of Charge

    My available Ah and SOC don’t seem to reset very accurately when recharging. Woke up this morning to this 56% SOC Couple hours later with very little use and decent Solar coming in I am down to 50%. Battery voltage is higher. Drawing about 2 amps @120v Do I have something wrong in setting...

    CT Current Transformers for Shore Power Feed

    Considering adding a couple of Current Transformers where shore power comes in to the ATS to monitor shore power quality. I can get a pair with remote display and mount in a box next to ATS. I see my Multiplus II 2x120 has a connection for one CT but that doesn’t really help. Looking at adding...

    Multiplus II and Generator Connections

    45Amps is fine, I draw slightly under 30amps with both AC’s and fridge, but the generator breaker trips on occasion. I confirmed L1 and L2 voltage are the exact same and the voltage between L1 and L2 is 0.0 So I ordered a Burndy BIT4 to splice the legs together on the line side of the ATS.

    Multiplus II and Generator Connections

    Confirming meaning the voltages were identical and the voltage between phases is zero? I don’t see any real clarification in the generator manual. I will test it today. Thanks!

    Multiplus II and Generator Connections

    No a single Multiplus inverter. 8000va generator I believe it is 120v output. I am downloading the manual now. I want to get 60amp out of my generator, through my inverter to my power panel.

    Multiplus II and Generator Connections

    My Multiplus II is blocking out one leg of my Onan generator. I am getting only 30amps of output through the inverter and occasionally I tri0 the Generator 30am0 breaker. I have read a fair amount but do not know that path to take to rectify it. Any input? Victron Multiplus II 2x120 Onan QD8000...

    Victron Bluetooth

    It works if I’m standing next to it even with the door close, but I’d really like to have it work inside the rig. When I’m driving, I’d like to open the app and see what kind of solar charging we’re getting.

    Victron Bluetooth

    Anyone come up with a good Victron Bluetooth signal solution? I have a 38' Class A with all my gear in the center belly storage area. I have installed the Bluetooth Dongle extender to reach closer to the side, but I basically have to be outside next to the storage bays to get a decent...

    Victron Multiplus II Assisting

    I installed the Multiplus II 2x120 in my Class A back in the fall and am coming off the first big trip with it. Couple comments: Super nice to be able to run a anything off the inverter. We even ran one AC unit at a marina for a couple hours. Inverter provided good power while Solar was...

    Victron Multiplus 2x120

    Well I connected laptop and went over all of the settings, re-saved then. It seems to be running fine now. Maybe there was just a software glitch. Thanks for the help! I will watch it the next couple days and let you know if there are any other issues.

    Victron Multiplus 2x120

    Measure voltage at the +- connection at the MP which was the same as measured at each battery. The MP shuts off and when I restart it, app controlled, it tells me it has Liw Votage.

    Victron Multiplus 2x120

    Yes Multiplus Inverter I’ll have to get the setting tomorrow 680AH LifePO4 batteries - have been installed for 1-1/2yrs Multiplus II was installed last fall I tried to restart it. Shut down from app and rebooted, turned off physical switch. In short order I get a message of Low Voltage.

    Victron Multiplus 2x120

    Installed my Multiplus II a few months back. All good. Started out on a big trip today and the inverter keeps shutting down due to Low Battery Voltage. Batteries are 13.3v, fully charged for my batteries, so no issue there. I reset, disconnected and checked everything to no avail. Any...
