Do you have “power assist” enabled. Mine seems to max out at 4.4kW. I am using AC IN 1 only, which may be the issue. Not a big deal as we seldom peak over 4.4 for any length of time.

It’s the 5kVA version.

I self installed a Victron multiplus 2 and Seplos 15.4kWh battery and I did the all the wiring myself. As johnb2713 says the DC side was a bit more involved. I had ran the ac wiring from the inverter to a new consumer unit I had fitted in garage. In my case the ac wiring circuit was only about...

Although not shown in the pictures I split the cells into two packs of 8 when top balancing and clamped the cells together and when installed in the Seplos case there is thin foam between the cells then a metal plate compresses the cells in the cabinet. So I would guess there was only one cycle...

As far as I am aware, there should be no effect on my current SEG. Existing PV system, installed by a MCS contractor has not been altered. SP Networks have approved an export up to 8kW (not likely to get even close to that). At the moment I have set the Victron for no export therefore the max I...

Indeed it is. Sitting at 65% just now (started at 15% this morning). 2.5kW going into it.

Thanks John, will investigate.

Hi, I have previously posted questions about my battery instal and received good advice, thanks for that. I though I would post a more detailed run through of my installation that may be of interest. I had been thinking about battery storage for a while and eventually, after much research and...

Can that be done with the Victron Multiplus Johnb2713 as I have the same issue?

The PV assistant along with ESS assistant were pre-installed when I got the inverter. Although it is all working now I will remove that assistant in case it causes any more issues. The external CT clamp connects to the Inverter using a 3.5mm plug. As soon as you plug in the 3.5mm jack plug, the...

That's interesting John. My next step is to get the battery info into my HA set up but I'll leave that till I'm happy with the system as is It's only been running for 2 or 3 days. I don't have a data connection between the Seplos and Victron. The Inverter / battery kit supplier said they utilise...

Managed to solve the above issue by downloading and then uploading the Inverter settings using the Remote VE Configure files. Didn't change anything in them and the spurious PV Inverter disappeared. Possibly the PV Inverter assistant within the settings got confused.

I reloaded the OS but no difference. May have to try and look in VE configure for any clues.

Perhaps. Been working fine today, battery fully charged from solar, apart from the spurious 7kW! I may reinstall the Venus OS on the Pi tomorrow, see if that makes any difference. @johnb2713 has helped me before so may drop him a direct message later.

Hi, Hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction. Over the past few months have been installing the following: Multiplus 2 48/5000, Seplos 280Ah battery, Venus OS running on Raspberry Pi with display. 230v is connected to AC In, ESS enabled with CT clamp connected to the 3.5mm...
