In a Tinyhouse we run a 24V ESS (MP-II 24/3000 v500) with Victron Smart Lithium 200Ah incl. Smart Shunt and MPPT's.
As the Tiny have different consumers over 24VDC, the battery gets drained quite a bit on that side. In the winter a DC floor heating is connected as well.
Unfortunately ESS is not sustaining these DC loads if "min. SOC" is reached. Why?
Further if ESS is in "BatteryLife Mode", the charge state / current never change to more than 5Amp (Slow recharge) so the battery will get drained until flat. If ESS is "without Battery LifeMode" it change to max. charge.
If I analyze the ESS state via NodeRed, I can see that ESS is not changing from
6 - Optimized Mode /w BatteryLife: SoC has been below SoC limit for more than 24 hours. Charging the battery (5A)
to what is needed
8 - Optimized Mode /w BatteryLife: recharging, SoC dropped by 5% or more below the minimum SoC
I'm able to set ESS state via NodeRed to (8).
In my eyes ESS should sustain DC loads in the first place. But at least should change to full charge if SOC dropes to mutch and safe the batteries from get drained too flat.
Any ideas? Thanks
