Easysolar-II not charging LiFePo4 smart battery

I have tried to read all the possible documents and gone through lots of threads here in the forum, but I really couldn't find a solution to my problem.

I have 2 pieces of smart LiFePo4 batteries (nominal voltage 51,2V, 16 cell, master-slave) connected to my EasySolar-II 48/5000/70-50 MPPT 250GX 5000VA through the BMS Can 500Kbit/s, that have an average voltage of 52.5V and a 57%SOC, that can be observed in the menu of the built-in Venus device, like in the picture:

I also managed, to force to broadcast this information SOC and voltage infromation from the built-on GX device to the built-in Multiplus-II (it was not too easy, I had to upgrade all of my built-in components within the EasySolar-II in order to get it functioning). Even the built-in MPPT device seems to be informed well. 2.png1677434763704.png


I added DVCC

and enabled battery monitor on CAN-bus

I use the HUB-1 configuration, and I would like to charge my batteries from AC-in until my PV panels will be ready, but the battery is never ever charged it is always Idle 0W. (AC-Input is not conditional)

Charger voltage levels are set as followes:

My question is, how is it possible to start the battery charging from AC-IN in HUB-1 configuration?

(I also tried the grid parallel installiation with ESS, and keep battery charged with no success, batteries logs do not show any errors, they are is normal state, no errors or warnings are present)

I would appriciate your help.

Thank you in advance!

Try resetup the system without battery comms.

Check on the vrm what the ccl and dcl limit are showing in the advanced section and using the battery widget.

Can you be more precise about the battery model?

I recall having a similar issue where I could not charge my battery on the generator. I have an EasySolar II GX 3000 with no assistants installed (it's completely off grid) and I found that I needed the current transformer to be installed before anything worked properly. I dont know if that was a generator thing, but your issue looks similar to mine. I recall seeing power coming into the unit, but no current.

It was only after I installed the transformer that anything worked in my setup.

Happy to share my settings with you if it's of any help.
