firmware update 1806xxx

Looking on the firmware portal, I can't see any information regarding updating the firmware in older Easyplus units. The sticker on the PCB has 1806133 on it. Is it possible to update the firmware in this unit?

Hi @Ceri.w

There are further details about compatibility of unit families here: https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/manual-VE.Bus-firmware-versions-explained-EN.pdf

Your 18 series does not have VE.Bus so I don't think it is able to be used with the current versions of MK3 USB and VEConfigure3.

I have never done a firmware update on a unit of that family, is there a reason you NEED to do a firmware update? If so, I can make further enquires if it is possible.

While this is not relevant in your situation, if others in the future are looking for more information about firmware updates:

The legacy versions are listed here: https://docs.victronenergy.com/veconfigure.html#introduction-and-requirements

The Software for older devices (VEConfigure 1) is available here: https://www.victronenergy.com/support-and-downloads/software
