seems your xml is corruptedHi Guys,
I would need your help. impossible to start battery monitor. as soon as I want to load the agreement it crashes
and suddenly I can't connect to my BMS
does anyone have an idea or a solution? thanks ! (This is happening to me on 3 of my computers.)

thank for answer.seems your xml is corrupted
deinstall software, clean up location, reinstall , start as administrator
or
simply replace xml file![]()
Hi - I have a 10E BMS connected to a Victron Multiplus 2 with a RP and CAN hat used for load shifting so no other DC charging. With the BMS CAN disconnected the battery can charge at 70 Amps as expected but when CAN is connected the charge current is limited to 47.5 Amps. This limit is shown on the RP display in the BMS parameters.
My question is how can I either adjust or remove this limit? I can't find any settings for it on the RP display or in the Seplos PC software.
I've been also trying to connect my Rosen solar batteries (same BMS as seplos) to my 12k solark. i finally got it connected. solark set to "00".Still no response from Seplos. Alan finally got back to me a couple weeks ago after I emailed support direct, but his response was to "Contact your salesmen, we can't help you, we're just engineers" So i've emailed Adam twice now, no response. Today I reached out direct through Alibaba. We'll see...
Why is this so hard?
Hi Chang,The one bit I was missing, that I got from Carl, was that the last (at least on my setup) function switch "Single BMS 1.0C charging" needs to be set to "ON" otherwise as 1.4 shows it will set the CCL to half the "Charging overcurrent warning" setting, 95/2 = 47.5 in my case.
Now my CCL is at 85 Amps (Charging overcurrent warning - 10) well above the 70A the Multiplus can put out.
For anyone finding this message in the future, I contacted Seplos support who recommended setting the BMS to Ginlong. I tried this and it appears to work with the inverter set to Pylontech.Hi, I'm setting up my Solis inverter and Seplos 280Ah battery. I have set the BMS to SMA_SOFAR, and the inverter to AoBo, but the inverter still does not like the name of the battery. Many people here have mentioned setting the BMS to SOFAR, however that is not an option in the dropdown. Do I need to update something? Thanks for any pointers.

Edit: My inverter model is rai-3k-48es-5g
Solved. I was running V2.1.8 of the Battery Monitor software and Carl at Seplos advised that I should run V2.1.9 which allows me to access the needed function switch.Hi Chang,
I have the same problem with CCL being half what it should be. However I don't have the function switch you refer to. I'm running firmware 16.4 and Victron Protocol Rev 2.0. Are you running the same?
Thank
@CrossStreetMariner, what is the name of the parameter in Battery Monitor 2.1.9?
I received these today. Going to try and get one installed this weekend and try and see if my problems with communication have been magically solved.Just to follow up with this, I just placed my order for 2x 10E 200a BMS's. I also asked them to include the PC-to-Battery communication cable. Fingers crossed this all works out for me. Good thing is I'm not in a hurry.
Hi CrossStreet,Aslo, this must have been mentioned, but some (most) paremeters are not changable in Battery Monitor. A workaround is to save, edit the xml, and load.
Some parameters should be changeable, such as threshold currents. The bms does not know how thick your cables are, for example, so you may want to set the maximum currents according to the cables.Hi CrossStreet,
I investigated that, but decided not to go there since I cannot know what side-effects might occur from changing those parameters on the fly. SEPLOS have implemented range checks when you do it from their software which keeps the parameters within the ranges that they have considered to be 'correct'.
Who knows what happens when you force them outside those ranges ... maybe nothing ... but??
???I've seen worse software than Battery Monitor, but not a lot.
I have reverted back to firmware 2.9 (from 2.7). 2.7 did not have ccl halving, 2.9 has. I've set "Single BMS 1.0C charging" switch to ON, but I still have halving. I'd rather stay on 2.9 and double "Charging overcurrent warning". Will rely on my fuses, breakers and the inverter for the current not to exceed the thresholds.
The switch works for me. I have it set to ON and have Charge Overcurrent warning set to 160A. The CCL is 150A until the first cell reaches the warning level, then it reduces to 10A. This is the expected behaviour.@Mariner62 have you had any success with the switch?
Thanks. You are probably on firmware 2.8. I double checked the flag set and my ccl is still a half of the "warning" level (I am on 2.9).The switch works for me.

I am using 2.1.9 of the PC software, BMS firmware 16.4, Victron Protocol V2.0.Thanks. You are probably on firmware 2.8. I double checked the flag set and my ccl is still a half of the "warning" level (I am on 2.9).
I don't know of any simplified instructions, only the user manual from SEPLOS. If you know about BMS operation, it's not too difficult to work through the software. I can imagine it's pretty confusing if you are not familiar with the operation of a BMS.This is probably a dumbass question, but I think I might be a dumbass. Is there anywhere that gives simple concise instructions on connecting & using the Seplos software? Also, do I need a special lead to connect to a laptop or indeed to my LuxPower inverter?
