Hi All
Can I sanity check something please...
The EasyPlus 1600 has a built in battery monitor - which can be disabled. My system has a BMV702 attached. So the internal battery monitor has been disabled - and the system is being 'battery monitored' by the BMV.
Is this correct - switch off battery monitoring in EasyPlus and let the BMV do the monitoring ?
Regards
Tim
Yes the BMV can do the monitoring, however the Easy plus can't do anything with the data even when connected via a GX device. - If you haven't any DC loads/charging other than the easy plus then you can leave both monitors on without a problem.
Thanks Jwfrary.
You say "the Easy plus can't do anything with the data even when connected via a GX device"... can you help me understand this ?
I have the EasyPlus and BMV connected to a Venus GX - and have 5 MPPT charge controllers. They are all connected by either VE.Bus or VE Direct. I have switched battery monitor off - in the EasyPlus. In the Venus GX settings - I have set the BMV as the battery monitor.
If EasyPlus can't do anything with the data - how does the EasyPlus manage adaptive charging etc etc ?
Many thanks.
Tim
