I tried to update the firmware of the IP22 24/48 V battery mgmt controller with the VictronConnect app. I think the update failed.
Now when I try to switch on the system the status LED is continuously flashing red and nothing happens.
In VictronConnect I cannot see the IP22 anymore… :-(
What can I do?
What device do you have exactly? I'm not sure what a "mgmt" is.
Had the same thing happen. Getting the firmware to update is a terrible experience. I've had to do it twice now. Victron needs to fix this. I tried several times and it would get to a certain % then stop and fail. After 7 or 8 tries, VictronConnect could no longer see the IP22. I ended up unplugging it for about a minute, exiting the app, and force closing it as a background app. It still didn't show, but when I did the same thing + reboot my cell phone, it finally showed up again. It will eventually update the firmware, but it took another 15 to 20 tries for it finally get to 100%. I ended up with a second problem following the update. It might just be a faulty unit for me, but the charger kept skipping the bulk charge mode and went straight into absorption. I found that even when it wasn't connected to a battery, it would act as if it was sensing voltage and go straight to absorption. I had to send it back and I have another on order. Hopefully, it wasn't the firmware and it was just a faulty device. I like the app when it works and all of my other Victron hardware works great, so it would be a shame if this charger is prone to issues like this going forward. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
