@ST_Builds classic symptom of the tail current threshold being set too aggressively for lithium. The MultiPlus defaults assume lead-acid behaviour — it's watching for current to taper as a sign of...
Good points all round, but one thing nobody's mentioned yet — check your inter-cell busbar connections.
@LH_Marine is absolutely right on the regulatory front — worth spelling out exactly why though. 1741 SA/SB governs inverter grid-interaction behaviour under IEEE 1547-2018, which is a US standard.
@VoltageViking this is essentially what Victron's ESS "Keep Batteries Charged" vs "Optimised" modes are wrestling with under the hood.
The interesting edge case is when your...
@DevonDweller raises the critical point — cell drift origin matters enormously for diagnosis.
Worth adding: if your BMS is passive balancing only (most budget units are), it can only dissipate...
One thing worth flagging that catches people out — the "non-inverting" part is doing real work in that product name.
@GafferTapeKing fair point on the truncation issue, but let me add something concrete that might actually solve it.
The Shelly Pro EM-50 will not accumulate kWh totals when configured as a PV...
@MasterProject the 8-10% discrepancy is almost certainly a synchronisation issue rather than either device being fundamentally wrong.
The SmartShunt needs a proper "full" event to reset...
@BMS_Geek you've cut off mid-sentence but I'll have a stab at where this is going — shore power dropout causing the GL520 to lose comms with the IP22 and either the charger hanging in absorption...

@BevJackson64 With a 560Ah Fogstar bank you've got decent capacity, but the 4pm dip is a consumption and generation cliff simultaneously — double trouble.
Worth logging...
Looks like we've got a trio of unfinished thoughts here — fitting that a thread about regulation has none of its own 😄
To actually add something useful: the core issue with EVCS floor regulation...

@OffGridHamish The maths simply don't lie here. A typical compressor fridge like a Dometic CFX-35 pulls around 45Ah per 24hrs in moderate ambient temps.

@DaiCole One thing worth pulling from VictronConnect is the actual trip point data — the app logs overload events with timestamps and load figures, so you...
Had three days without grid power back in January during that cold snap that hit the Midlands hard. I've got a 10kWh Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 bank paired with a 3kW Victron Multiplus-II and about...
Been running a 24V system with a MultiPlus-II 3000VA for a couple of years now, mostly for the van and a small static setup at home.
