Lithium smart battery upgrade to v1.19 - unable to click button

Hi from France.

When connecting to the battery, Victron Connect displays a long message (3 parts) saying an upgrade from v1.17 to v1.19 is needed. There is no action button to cancel or upgrade displayed on the smartphone. The message seems to continue at the bottom of the screen but there is no possibility to scroll down.

So I wait during 30 minutes (close to the battery) but nothing happens, no message, no end.

What am I suppose to do ? Waiting a bit more !

Please advise.

Hi @pittgv

are you 100% sure you couldn't scroll down by dragging the screen?

Yes 100% sure : I checked twice, no way to scroll down.

The phone is a Samsung Galaxy J7 (SM-J730F)

I'll try to switch to English and see what happens.

Otherwise, no problem, I'll wait for the fix.

Thank you for the replies


EDIT : just checked with English = same problem. However the message display is a bit longer but no action button nor way to scroll down.

Could you please let us know your phone model?

We've found the problem and have fixed it, the fix will included in a official release in a week or two.

A possible workaround, in case you have French language selected, is change the language from French to English, usually English translation is shorter than the French one. Once update you can switch back the language to French. You can change the language in VictronConnect settings: Devices list page -> Menu button at the top-left corner -> Settings.

If above doesn't work, use a different phone to perform the update.
