Quattro -II used with a car v2l

I have a Hyundai Ioniq 5 which has V2L (vehicle 2 Load) capability of 3.6KW 230V, I would like to use this capability to supplement a ESS system based on Victron Quattro 2 with 16KWH of BYD batteries. The system would be grid based in the UK, the intension to storage cheap off peak energy and use during peak.

Question 1 Can the Quattro 2 accept in effect a 2nd input where you expect a generator to be if the the grid is live which would be the car V2L 3.6KW 230V output? And can it prioritise this ?

Did you manage to connect the V2L output successfully to your Quattro?

Did you get the V2L feeding in ok? Currently can’t get my BYD V2L to connect (trips the power board) so hoping for any tips you may have?

From the manual:

AC-in-2

A second AC input cable can be connected to the terminal block ‘AC-in-2’. If AC voltage is present on these terminals, the Quattro will use this connection, unless voltage is also present on AC-in-1. The Quattro will then automatically select AC-in-1. Generally the mains supply or shore voltage will be connected to AC-in-2.


AC1 is always prioritised over AC2 and both won't be used simultaneously.
