Hello again all.
Tomorrow is the big day. Going to change over from FLA to 6 pylontech us3000c.
Quick question: do any of you use virtual switch with lithiums? I have a connection to another house which I've used as a backup for when we don't get much PV. If I want to do the same with the new batteries, what should the settings be? It's currently set for detecting voltage drop, as that is the obvious trigger using the FLAs.
Why not use conditional AC control from victron connect?
Can connect on SOC which is more relevant with lithium, given the flatter voltage curve.
Looks remarkably similar to the VS. I presume those settings are the default, rather than suggested for me?
Just looked. Isn't victron connect the mobile app? I have to use ve configure to change the Quattro settings.
Cheers. I'm sort of used to making changes with veconfigure, but I'll take a look at this other setup. What is the recommended SOC to trigger connection?
Something before 10%. With virtual switch though you can't do it on soc only on voltage.
You may have to disable VS and use AC ignore assistant instead if you want SOC switching.
All other information you might need is on this page, although i am sure you saw it.
No, you will have to use ve config to use assistants.
Thanks both. I live in the south of Spain, so not a massive issue. The FLAs have been a big headache though. Although I have 910ah, the battery has never gone below 80% because of the voltage drop. So I'm guessing, I should actually get more usable backup from the lithiums.
