Hi all,
I have the Phoenix 12/800 VE.Direct and smart charger 12/20 with the bluetooth dongle and ive noticed over the last 9 days that the batteries have cycled over 35 times. ( running off 2x 180ah gel batteries for my gaming pc )
Is there a way to configure the inverter to use mains first then battery when mains fail ?
Correct me if i ma wrong here but the phoenix 12/800 ve direct model does not have a mains connection?
Can you share what else is in your system? How are you charging your batteries currently? How do you know the cycles - a smart shunt?
I have an ip65 car charger (charging from mains) on mine as well as solar.
@Alexandra I have the IP22 12/20 smart charger.
After a whole bunch of googling i found that i need to upgrade to the multiplus 12/800 if i want mains passthrough/UPS and the battery to kick in when mains fail or trip. :(
